The Human Neuroscience Platform (HNP) at the Campus Biotech in Geneva provides advanced equipment and technical support to read signals from the human nervous system and disturb its circuits, as well as a set of tools to measure behavior in healthy volunteers or patients.

The HNP includes various resources with cutting edge technologies in the fields of neuroimaging, magneto- and electro-encephalography, psychophysiology, virtual reality, neuromodulation and robotics. It also has a clinical and sleep research unit and a biomarkers analysis unit.

The mission of the HNP is to provide an integrative framework that allows the neuroscience research community to better understand how the normal brain works but also how the pathological brain dysregulates. Indeed, neurological and psychiatric disorders are a major public health issue, as they are difficult to treat and affect the daily lives of patients and their families.

This platform is coordinated by Dr. Olivier Reynaud and the scientific leadership of the platform is managed by two Faculty Advisors: Prof. Patrik Vuilleumier (UNIGE) and Prof. Olaf Blanke (EPFL).
