بخش هایی از مصاحبه چاپ شده با دکتر امیر جهانیان نجف آبادی، از اساتید حاضر در طرح پژوهشی نوروساینس و علوم شناختی، در وبسایت فنس:
In the following we will read some details about the interview of FENS VOICES and Dr. Amir Jahanian Najafabadi. The interview started by introducing Dr. Jahanian and asking some questions about his recent work and experience at last year’s Forum. First, let have a quick introduction about him and after that will read a summary of his answers to interesting questions of FENS VOICE!
He is a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in interdisciplinary neuroscience in the Department of Cognitive Neuroscience at Bielefeld University (DE), working alongside
Prof. Christoph Kayser. He studied the plasticity of minimal-self in healthy aging to understand how virtual and real-life changes in sensorimotor experiences shape the perception of body ownership, agency and location using neurobehavioral measurements.
He is also studying how long-term motor experiences with specific tools in athletes (e.g., golfers) alter body schema, body ownership, sense of agency and peripersonal space. For
the latter, he uses brain-computer interfaces and brain training-related methods in neuroscience to develop individualised therapeutic protocols for clinical patients and peak performance purposes in healthy individuals. In addition to a decade of broad clinical and research experiences, he has been teaching students, medical professionals and psychologists.
The first question was about how he got involved in this area, and he started to talk about his curiosity about interpersonal relationships and reasons that can make people into some individuals with abnormal behavior. The next question was about his wife as a researcher in neuroscience and their together collaborating for 13 years, especially this question that was about: How has this joint neuroscience journey been for you both? He described all of these experiences as a fantastic experience especially when they both enrolled in a Clinical Neuroscience and Psychology PhD programme and they continued their neurotherapy and neuropsychological rehabilitation work in a neuropsychiatric clinic in Porto in the same time and parallel. After that he compared studying in Iran and abroad. In the following, he talked about this topic, and why he decided to move to Germany and continue his field in interdisciplinary Neuroscience while being researcher in developmental neuroscience at the Norwegian Technology and Science University in Trondheim. The next amazing question was how do virtual and real-life changes in sensorimotor experiences shape the perception of body ownership, agency and location? He answered in
an amazing way but let have an overview about that briefly: “We found that younger adults incorporate virtual tools into their existing body schema while body schema in older adults is less plastic, as they did not alter during the training. We also found that the emergence of a sense of body ownership in younger adults during virtual tool-use training is associated with an altered body schema while the plasticity of the forearm body schema does not predict a sense of ownership and agency in older adults”.
Long story short, he described usage of virtual tools and virtual environment to help his research.then, he accepted usage of AI in most situations and he talked about benefits in the Medical field as a result of AI Neuroscience and he had optimistic opinion about usage of AI in personalizing treatment for patients as well as basic research in neuroscience for further development of rehabilitation methods.
