Hernan G. Rey

Hernan G. Rey, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and the Marquette-MCW Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. He previously held an Assistant Professor position at Baylor College of Medicine until July 2022. His research focuses on understanding human episodic memory, improving epilepsy diagnosis and treatment, and developing tools for electrophysiological data analysis. Rey's lab records single-neuron activity and intracranial EEG from epilepsy patients to investigate brain mechanisms underlying memory and neurophysiological processes.

Education:

• PhD in Engineering, University of Buenos Aires (2009)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biomedical Informatics, University of Leicester (2012–2015)
• Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering, University of Buenos Aires (2002)

Research Interests: Dr. Rey explores anterior temporal lobectomy, drug-resistant epilepsy, electrophysiology, hippocampal function, machine learning applications in neuroscience, and signal processing. His work bridges clinical neurosurgery, biomedical engineering, and cognitive neuroscience to advance both fundamental understanding and clinical interventions.

Publications: His recent work highlights studies on parietal cortex function in action monitoring, single-neuron responses in memory encoding, and neurophysiological correlates of depression. These reflect a focus on translational neuroscience and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Awards:

• EPSRC Rising Star Award (2014)

Labs/Teams: The ReyLab drives innovation in electrophysiological data acquisition and analysis, emphasizing clinical application for epilepsy and memory disorders.
