Dr. Daniela Andres studies the neuronal code and forms of transmission of information in the nervous system. She applies and develops complex tools of analysis; she works with computational models and experimental data. Her research is motivated by medical problems, with a focus on translational research. Dr. Andres’s laboratory is dedicated to the study of complex biomedical signals and the development of medical technology.

• Measured for the first time the length of time patterns in the neuronal code of the basal ganglia, and showed how it is affected by Parkinson’s disease.
• Modeled the basal ganglia computationally and proposed that their neuronal code depends on a diffusion coefficient.
• Described the movement of spikes throughout the nervous system with a novel mathematical approach, related to the motion equations of turbulent fields.
