Dr. Farveh Daneshvarfard

Biography: After receiving a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Picardie Jules Verne in France (2020), and completing two postdoctoral programs at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM), I began my academic career and currently serve as an Assistant Professor at FUM. In parallel, I co-founded ACTELMON, a dynamic startup focused on AI and health monitoring, where I serve as the CTO.
My research interests lie in cognitive and developmental neuroscience, and designing health tele-monitoring systems. I study the analysis and the maturation/degradation of the neural networks whatever they are cortical, physiological or pathological in the child and in the elderly. With a multimodal approach, I focus on recruiting the acquisition and analysis tools allowing the characterization of the EEG, MRI/fMRI, Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Eye Tracking data and their modulations in certain physiological and pathological situations.
To support this vision, I founded the Neurotrack —an interdisciplinary research group uniting Ph.D., M.Sc., and B.Sc. students, as well as national/international academic collaborators. Together, we pursue innovative, high-impact research at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and healthcare.

Experience: “Working at Neurotrack Lab over the past two years has been an incredible journey through a truly multidisciplinary landscape. What I’ve loved most is the flexibility to explore diverse topics. There’s always something new to spark curiosity, and boredom simply doesn’t exist here. From investigating the multimodal diagnosis of adult ADHD to decoding emotions through physiological signals, each project has taught me more than just technical skills. Above all, I’ve grown through teamwork, perseverance, and learning from the brilliant minds around me, especially Dr. Daneshvarfard. If this lab were a brain, every project would be a unique signal, and I’m grateful mine added a few meaningful spikes to its waveform.”

Experience: Working in the lab provided me with the opportunity to collaborate with the research team in data analysis and scientific projects. The majority of my activities were analytical and research-based, and I was not directly involved in hands-on laboratory experiments. Nonetheless, this experience allowed me to become more familiar with the workflow and methodologies of neuroscience labs and helped me appreciate the importance of teamwork and effective communication in a scientific environment.

Experience: Joining NeuroTrack Lab during our undergraduate years was more than just a research experience—it helped shape the direction of my academic and professional journey. From the very beginning, the lab offered an environment full of growth opportunities, where curiosity was encouraged and learning felt both challenging and rewarding. One of the most memorable milestones was presenting our work at the Basic and Clinical Neuroscience Congress—my first true experience of how engineering and psychology can come together in real, impactful research. Surrounded by experienced researchers and professionals, that moment marked a turning point for me. Beyond the technical and scientific learning, this lab has taught us the value of friendship, teamwork, and resilience. Under Dr. Daneshvarfard’s thoughtful supervision, we always felt supported—step by step, through every challenge and achievement. I’m truly grateful to be part of such a collaborative and inspiring environment that continues to shape who I am as a researcher and as a person.

Mitra Zakeri

Experience: For my bachelor’s project, I worked under the supervision of Dr. Farve Daneshvarfard on “Effects of Value and Motivational Salience on Visual Attention and Target Selection.” The process was challenging but exciting. We started by running multiple pilot experiments to test different designs, making sure every part of our tasks worked properly. Each step required careful data analysis to understand how changes affected things like participant performance. After some adjustments and with Dr. Daneshvarfard’s guidance, we finalized our experiment design and completed the thesis. I was honored when she recommended our preliminary findings for presentation at the National Neuroscience Congress, where they were accepted. This experience showed me how incredible neuroscience research can be. I believe any student who gives their “attention” to this field will never get “distracted” by anything except their “target.”

Experience: My collaboration with the Neurotrack Lab at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad was one of the most formative experiences of my undergraduate journey. Immersed in a multidisciplinary research environment, I had the opportunity to engage deeply with real-world neurophysiological data and cutting-edge signal analysis techniques. Working under the supervision of Dr. Farveh Daneshvarfard was both an honor and an inspiration; her expertise, mentorship, and high standards consistently challenged me to think more critically, ask better questions, and refine my approach to scientific inquiry. Beyond the technical skills I gained, the experience taught me the value of precision, persistence, and collaborative thinking in academic research. The lab’s professional, intellectually stimulating atmosphere played a key role in nurturing my curiosity and motivating me to pursue research with greater depth and purpose.

Experience: Working in the Neurotrack Lab at Ferdowsi University was a completely new and hands-on experience for me. I was actively involved in the practical side of our research, especially in data collection — from setting up equipment and sensors to recording GSR signals from participants during testing sessions. It was my first time working so closely with people in an experimental setting, and I learned how much patience, accuracy, and attention it really takes. Every session taught me something new — not just about signal processing, but about how real research feels outside of textbooks. Being part of the lab helped me become more confident, more focused, and more excited about doing research that connects directly to people’s lives.
