Emiliano's Lab
A lab that seeks to understand brain and intelligence across scales — from cortical encoding and scalp EEG to evolutionary simulations of adaptive behavior.
Built by Emiliano Cuevas. Some work is in silico: TRIBE v2 and related models predict cortical responses without a scanner. Other studies use EEG or simulations such as Origins, which explores how selection shapes joint policies over sensing and action. Each experiment page states its methods.
Pinned experiments
Neuromotion — motor imagery EEG (OpenBCI Cyton)
Can imagined hand and foot movements be decoded from consumer-grade EEG?
Origins — joint distribution evolution
Does selection pressure reshape a full joint policy over sensing, internal state, and action?
Completed experiments
Humor Classification
Can brain responses predict if text is funny?
Metaphor vs. Literal Classification
Can brain patterns tell figurative language from literal?
Intuitive Physics — Real vs. Reversed
Can brain patterns detect violations of physical laws?
P300 speller — OpenBCI Cyton
Can a row–column P300 speller run end-to-end on OpenBCI hardware with a clear calibration-to-spelling workflow?
All experiments are designed and run by Emiliano Cuevas. Not for clinical use.
