With a good planning and the help of masters, disciples and collaborators, the scientific process enters into the action phase, with the ultimate goal of making a positive impact for society.

The scientific impact of the Functional Neuroscience Group is presented under Study (papers) 

This is the translational impact of the Functional Neuroscience Group:

• Collaboration with the startup Newronika (co-founded by G. Foffani)

• Collaboration with the startup Neurek (co-founded by G. Foffani)

This is the outreach impact of the Functional Neuroscience Group:

Books

G. Foffani. Tarot y ciencia, un improbable paralelismo mitológico. Bauplan (2024). [book] (link)

This book draws a parallelism between the steps of the scientific method and the structure of Tarot cards, using this improbable relationship to reflect about the main processes and distortions of science. The same structure is used for the present website.

Music

(2023-2024) Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología FECYT (Spain). Neurodiálogos en Clave de Sol (FCT-22-17959). (web) (video)

This project is based on a conceptual, symbolic, and artistic connection between fundamental processes in neuroscience and music. Observation, study, idea generation, planning, relationship with mentors, collaboration, execution, evaluation, error, and starting over—these are the ten core processes shared by both the neuroscientist and the musician. However, while the transformation of these processes into a scientific work often takes years, their manifestation in a musical performance can occur almost instantly. Music, especially musical improvisation, becomes a powerful medium not only for presenting the results of neuroscience but also for sharing its very processes.
