Prof. Luis Vega takes possession of his place as Academician of the RAC

Professor Luis Vega, researcher at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics – BCAM and professor at the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibersitatea (UPV/EHU), has taken up his seat as a Full Member of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Spain (RAC).

In the ceremony of possession, held at the headquarters of the RAC, Prof. Vega read his speech on “Fourier Analysis and differential equations, new challenges” with a response from Prof. Juan Luis Vázquez Suárez.

Now, as a Full Academician, his job is to contribute to the work of the Academy.

BCAM launches its new NeuroMath Lab

Basque Center for Applied Mathematics - BCAM launches its new NeuroMath Lab at its campus in Leioa (Bizkaia). This laboratory is part of the equipment with which Serafim Rodrigues, Ikerbasque researcher at BCAM, will work in his research on neurons suffering from epilepsy and will collaborate with BERC research centre Achucarro, the Basque centre for neuroscience.

To understand the research, we can start by explaining what Deep Brain Stimulator is, which serves to correct pathological electro-chemical signals in the brain, for example in patients with Parkinson's disease. The problem with this stimulation is that it does not work for patients suffering from epilepsy, as in their case they are intermittent episodes, which do not occur all the time.

The purpose of the research being carried out by Prof. Rodrigues is to develop a mathematical and computational algorithm that allows us to know when a person is going to suffer an epileptic attack. Connected to deep brain stimulator, the aim is to detect the moment at which the part of the brain damaged by epilepsy goes from a normal state to an epileptic state, and thus be able to stimulate the neurons slightly to prevent an epileptic attack.
