Biography
Working in the field of computational and mathematical social neuroscience, Edoardo is formalising information-theoretic approaches and measures into the social neurosciences. Focusing on hyperscanning methods (simultaneous dual-neuroimaging or -neurophysiological recordings during social interactions), Edoardo has developed an open source toolbox to analyse connectivity, causality, and informational dynamics for continuous time-series data on different scales of organisation (i.e., EEG, MEG, fMRI, fNIRS) — see HyperIT. Moreover, he is developing neurobiologically plausible biophysical simulations of interacting brains to understand and model their nonrandom and nonlinear coupling.
