University of Reading, UK 

Prof Slawomir J Nasuto leads the Brain Embodiment Laboratory (BEL), an interdisciplinary research group within the School of Biological Sciences (University of Reading, Reading, United Kingdom), focusing on neuroengineering and cognitive neuroscience, alongside assistive robotics and information processing. His research on phase synchronisation, functional connectivity and complex evolving networks informs, and in turn benefits from, interrogating cognitive processes and, more directly, the nervous system. He also applies these approaches, most notably in brain computer interfaces (BCI), neurofeedback and neurorehabilitation. He received an MSc in Mathematics from the University of Marie Curie-Sklodowska in Lublin, Poland in 1993 and a PhD in Cybernetics from University of Reading in 1999. He has been a member of academic staff at Reading since 2000.His research interests span cybernetics, cognition, complex systems, computational neuroscience and analysis of biosignals. He supervised 6 Postdoctoral Fellows and 16 PhD students and published over 170 research articles in books, journals and international peer-reviewed conferences. He ran extramurally funded research projects attracting over £3.5M, with significant proportion of the projects in the healthcare related areas.
