Aiming at new possibilities for the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease

In the context of clinical activities of the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat), the Goalkeeper's Game appears as a potential resource for the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. A degenerative disorder of the nervous system, this disease affects 1% of the world population of over 65 years, according to the Association Brazil Parkinson. This work is part of the NeuroMat-led network AMPARO.

On NeuroMat

NeuroMat is a research center established in 2013 at the University of São Paulo that is dedicated to integrating mathematical modeling and theoretical neuroscience. Among the core missions of NeuroMat are the creation of a new mathematical system to understanding neural data and the development of neuroscientific open-source computational tools. The research center is headed by Prof. Antonio Galves, from USP's Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, and is funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
