Biography

Abdelhafid Zeghbib received his PhD degree from Otto-von-Guericke University in Germany, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. From 2006 until 2010 he joined the Group of Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience (modulation of distant neural networks connectivity and neuronal oscillatory activity) in the research center: Institut of Neurobiology (IFN) Germany. He was involved in the European Project: Detection and Identification of Rare Audiovisual Cues (DIRAC). From 2004 until 2006 he was involved in the project: Investigation of electromyogram (EMG) neuromuscular control signals, in collaboration with “Laboratoire d’instrumentation et de Relations Individu système (LIRIS), CNRS, Vélizy, France”. From 2003 until 2004 he was working in Identification and modeling of the knee-joint dynamics”, at Otto-von-Guericke University in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute (MPI) Germany. From 2002 until 2003 he was working in Gait Phases Identification at Otto-von-Guericke University in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Research Institute Germany.
 
He is a member of:
GNS:        German Neuroscience Society (Germany).
SFN:         Society for Neuroscience (USA).

Research Interests

My research area is to combine the rigors of medical and biological studies with the power of engineering analysis and Modelling.

Current Project

Goal-Directed Trajectory Modelling of Therapeutic Pathways
University of Sheffield (ACSE), UK; Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, UK; Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, UK.

Grant: Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

Research Experience (Previous Projects)

  1. Computational and cognitive neuroscience, the modulation of distant neural networks connectivity and neuronal oscillatory activity of local field potentials (LFPs) recorded simultaneously from both auditory and visual cortex of awake animals (2006-2010). In the Institut for Neurobiology (IFN), Germany.
    European Project: Detection and Identification of Rare Audiovisual Cues (DIRAC), http://www.diracproject.org.
  2. Investigation of electromyogram (EMG) neuromuscular control signals, project in collaboration with “Laboratoire d’Ingenierie des Systèmes de Versailles (LISV), CNRS, Vélizy, France” (2004-2006). http://www.lisv.uvsq.fr/
  3. Identification and modeling of the knee-joint dynamics”, Otto-von-Guericke University in collaboration with Max Planck Institute (MPI) Germany, (2003-2004). The examined real system is consisted of the quadriceps, Surface Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) signal and a freely swinging shank.
  4. Gait Phases Identification” Otto-von-Guericke University in collaboration with Fraunhofer Research Institute Germany (2002-2003).
