Yoshua E. Lima-Carmona

Yoshua E. Lima-Carmona is a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at the University of Houston and a Graduate Research Assistant at the NSF IUCRC BRAIN Center. He also serves as President of the BRAIN-AccelNet Student Network, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration across neuroengineering, cognitive science, and the arts. His research explores the neural dynamics of artistic expression, such as acting, dance, and music, and the brain’s responses to multisensory natural environments for stress reduction. Specializing in Mobile Brain–Body Imaging (MoBI) and Hyperscanning, he applies advanced neural data acquisition and signal processing to study naturalistic human behavior and develop brain–body interface technologies. He has mentored students from high school to postbaccalaureate levels through NSF- and NIH-funded programs, fostering inclusive and hands-on research experiences. Yoshua has presented his work at the Society for Neuroscience and the Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity, and expanded his expertise at the Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics School at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. His interdisciplinary work bridges art, neuroscience, and technology to understand how embodied experiences shape brain function and well-being.
