About me



Welcome! I am a neuroscientist and occupational therapist working as a professor and research group coordinator at the University School of Nursing and Occupational Therapy of Terrassa, Autonomous University of Barcelona.

My research focuses on the development of new multimodal interventions for neurorehabilitation, studying both clinical benefits and the mechanisms of brain plasticity that promote the recovery of individuals.
My passion lies in the intersection of neuroscience and occupational therapy, where I explore innovative approaches to enhance the well-being and quality of life of individuals suffering from neurological conditions.


I invite you to explore my portfolio, where you’ll find detailed information about my research projects, academic achievements, and professional journey.

My research
With fifteen years of experience in research, my scientific contributions have provided with solid evidence on the benefits of music-supported therapy for stroke rehabilitation, with a latest AI platform design for telerehabilitation.
My research combines behavioural measurements, 3D movement analysis, and neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques to provide comprehensive insights on the benefits of neurological rehabilitation.

Other key achievements of my research include:
Designing novel neurorehabilitation techniques through sonification;
Studying the effects of music listening for pain relief;
Evaluating the benefits of intensive rehabilitation programs at hospitals;
Participating in the definition of rehabilitation policies for the Health Department of Catalonia Government;
