BIOGRAPHY
Samuel Montero is a Postdoctoral Fellow working on the development of algorithms and methods for the analysis of brain connectivity and signal quality in fNIRS. During his first postdoctoral training, Samuel designed techniques for examining functional brain activity in specific conditions using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Samuel also has expertise in developing algorithms for causal discovery and machine learning (including neural networks and evolutionary algorithms for optimization). Currently, in the Bio Optical and Acoustic Spectroscopy Lab (BOAS), he is working on extracting connectivity networks from resting-state and attention-shifting fNIRS data.
