Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Física de São Carlos (IFSC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Student of Physical and Biomolecular Sciences at the Physics Institute of São Carlos of the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Undergraduate Researcher at the Neurobiophysics Laboratory at IFSC-USP with a scolarship by FAPESP. Currently my research project intends to confirm the existence and modulation of a refractory period (RP) in the spherical neurons of the Gymnotus carapo through Transfer Entropy and Mutual Information measures implemented in MATLAB, amongst other computational methods of data analysis.

Electric fish that generate weak bioelectric fields such as the tuvira (Gymnotus carapo), have an electric sensorial system that enables them to make use of self-generated pulses to communicate and construct an "electric image of their surroundings. Recently, it was shown that the neurons dedicated to the identification of the instant of occurrence of self-generated pulses present a refra…
We will address the effect of different intervals (on/off) of artificial light in the electric organ discharge patterns of Gymnotus carapo fish during electrolocalization and electrocommunication activities. We will choose some of the patterns with low probability and use them to control the light automatically. A computer with analog to digital and digital to analog interfaces (controlle…
