I was hosted by Professor Barbieri at SpinLabs, within the Department of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering at the Politecnico di Milano. The Lab collects, studies and analyzes various biosignals to convey central and peripheral nervous system activity. I collected data and participated in a project studying listening effort, which is a specific form of mental effort that occurs when a task involves listening. I also assisted with projects on emotion detection, speech recognition, and ECG electrode placement. The experience supported my academic and career goals by furthering my understanding of biosignals that are not only important in research, but also in medicine. Furthermore, it allowed me to gain skills in MatLab, which will be vital in many classes and opportunities at MIT.
