Hi there! I’m Dr. Adrián Alemán-Zapata, a Neuroscientist and Engineer passionate about sleep, memory, and neurotechnology.
My work bridges brain science and AI, from rodent electrophysiology and behavioral tracking to AI systems for health and cognitive monitoring.
💡 “My goal is to make cutting-edge neuroscience accessible through technology.”
- 🌎 Based in Mexico / The Netherlands
- 💤 Researching how sleep consolidates memory through neural oscillations
- ⚙️ Developing AI tools for animal behavior, health, and neurotech
- 🎯 Interests: Sleep • Memory • Closed-Loop Stimulation • Machine Learning • NeuroAI
- ✨ Fun fact: I love turning brain data into insightful plots
These repositories reflect my journey in systems neuroscience and computational neurophysiology, developed during my PhD at the Donders Institute (Radboud University, Netherlands).
