The NEUROCAP Research Group is part of a multidisciplinary research collective that includes experts from various fields such as Psychology, Neurology, Biology, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Development, and Education. It comprises two research lines called "Applied Neuropsychology" and "Clinical Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation".

 Additionally, it has four main objectives:

1. Firstly, to advance scientific knowledge of the neuropsychological bases of cognitive, emotional, and/or motor dysfunctions present in various neurological pathologies, with a special focus on acquired brain injury and Multiple Sclerosis, as well as other neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders.

2. Secondly, to advance scientific knowledge on the effects of neurorehabilitation and the various existing non-invasive neuropsychological treatment techniques, adopting a multidisciplinary perspective that allows their application not only to groups with various neurological pathologies but also to other groups who, due to their special socioeconomic and cultural conditions, may be at risk in their cognitive, emotional, or behavioural development.

3. The third objective is to explore the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of different techniques for studying brain activity (EEG, fMRI, etc.), as well as structural techniques (MRI, DTI) in the evaluation of cognitive, emotional, or behavioural functioning of clinical or socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

4. Finally, the fourth objective focuses on the development and evaluation of Medical Devices, researching the development and evaluation of medical devices (hardware) for the monitoring and treatment of neurological disorders, including neurostimulation technologies, brain activity monitoring devices, and neural interfaces, with the aim of improving the quality of life and functionality of patients affected by various neurological conditions.

The scientific, theoretical, and technical knowledge of the group will be related to the fields of neuropsychological assessment, psychophysiology, experimental psychology, biological signal processing, and artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on the study of the interaction between cognitive, emotional, and motor processes in the human brain".
