Postdoctoral Researcher at Hospital del Mar Research Institute
Beatriz Silveira de Arruda is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Rodrigo Quian Quiroga’s laboratory at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Barcelona, Spain, where she investigates memory and perception through single-cell recordings from the human temporal lobe.
Beatriz completed her PhD in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford, UK, where she explored non-invasive phasic stimulation for tremor treatment and developed a wearable device for adaptive electrical stimulation at the wrist. Her PhD work was supervised by Prof. Hayriye Cagnan, Tim Denison, Huiling Tan, and Peter Brown.
She holds a ScB (Honors) in Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience from Brown University, USA. Her undergraduate honors thesis, supervised by Prof. David Borton, examined the kinematics of rhesus macaque locomotion.
Her journey into neuroengineering and translational neuroscience began in 2016 at the Walk Again Project laboratory in São Paulo, Brazil, led by Prof. Miguel Nicolelis, where she conducted training sessions for spinal-cord-injured patients using EEG-controlled brain-computer interfaces.
