The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

Sensory systems neuroscience
Analysis of behavior and cognition in non-human animal
Data analysis and statistics
Imaging (microscopy)
Species : invertebrate
I joined ALBA because :

The goals of ALBA align closely with my own values and professional goals, as I am deeply committed to contributing to a more inclusive and equitable scientific community. I organized a scientific course designed to promote diversity through the use of open-source. This course emphasizes the importance of making scientific resources accessible and empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to engage with these technologies.

Fields of research :
Cognitive neuroscience
Computational neuroscience and modeling
Disorders of the nervous system
Analysis of behavior and cognition in humans
Analysis of behavior and cognition in non-human animal
Biophysics
Computation, modeling, and simulation
Data analysis and statistics
I joined ALBA because :
I am interested in joining a network where diversity and inclusion are central pillars. My work in both Neuroscience and Machine learning make a strong emphasis on diversity and equity: studying perception and neural dynamics beyond that of neurotypical subjects, and addressing and mitigating biases in terms of sensitive attributes in ML systems in the medical imaging and biomedical domain (algorithmic fairness).

I joined ALBA because :
Born and grow in Latin America, the most unequal continent in the world, but with 10 (great) years of academic experience in Germany, I fell I know what inequity means, at least in Latin America.
From there and as a scientific man of a patriarchal scientific system, I wish and rather I feel the duty to contribute.
