Exploring the Brain,
Translating Discovery into Impact

I’m Majid Khalili-Ardali—a neurotechnology researcher with a deep interest in consciousness studies. While I work at the intersection of cutting-edge neurotechnologies and brain-computer interfaces, much of my research has focused on the science of consciousness. I have explored this fascinating field from multiple angles, including disorders of consciousness, altered states of consciousness, and empirical comparisons of major theories of consciousness. This website is my space to share insights from both fundamental research and translational neuroscience. I aim to contribute to both the scientific community and the public dialogue on the brain, cognition, and technology.

Research Topics

Altered States of Consciousness

Investigating the neural and physiological signatures of altered states of consciousness in pathological patients with disorders of consciousness such as coma, unresponsive wakefulness, minimally conscious state, and under anesthesia.

Brain-Computer Interfaces

Developing and optimizing BCI systems aimed at restoring communication and control for patients with severe motor impairments, and exploring novel neurotechnologies for human-machine interaction.

Neurorehabilitation

Applying neuroscience and neurotechnology discoveries to real-world clinical settings, particularly in improving diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic interventions for patients with neurological disabilities.

Cognitive Architectures and Social Simulation

Exploring the potential of cognitive science methodologies to study psychosocial dynamics, using tools such as multi-agent modeling and cognitive architectures. I am interested in initiating projects that apply these frameworks to better understand complex social behaviors and interactions from a computational and cognitive perspective.
