Research & Expertise

International Laboratory for Digital Transformation in Public Administration together with the Bank of Russia and the Laboratory of Human-centeredness and Leadership Practices completed an applied study of human-centeredness in the digital transformation of the banking sector using artificial intelligence. Researchers presented the results at the Central Bank of Russia's conference “Focus on the Customer 2024”.

On December 19, 2024, the eighth and final seminar "Dynamics of environmental management, climate and biological productivity of landscapes of Buryatia and Tuva in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries" was held

Scientists at Privolzhsky Research Medical University (PRMU) and the Centre for Language and Brain Studies at the HSE Campus in Nizhny Novgorod have developed methods to diagnose autoaggressive and heteroaggressive tendencies in adolescents using eye-tracking technology. This will allow psychiatrists and psychologists to address this condition in young people before they may harm themselves or others. Anna Khomenko, Senior Research Fellow of the Centre for Language and Brain Studies at the HSE Campus in Nizhny Novgorod, presented the results of the project at the NeuroThursday seminar.

In 2024, the employees of The International Laboratory for Digital Transformation in Public Administration carried out a complex project to assess the level of digital maturity of the in Moscow. During this project, they not only conducted a comprehensive assessment of the digital transformation process by surveying a large number of indicators, but also created a unique model for evaluating digital maturity among executive authorities in a large region like Moscow.

Dr Gerwin Schalk is a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai and a partner of the HSE Centre for Language and Brain within the framework of the strategic project 'Human Brain Resilience.' Dr Schalk is known as the creator of BCI2000, a non-commercial general-purpose brain-computer interface system. In this interview, he discusses modern neural interfaces, methods for post-stroke rehabilitation, a novel approach to neurosurgery, and shares his vision for the future of neurotechnology.

A team of researchers, with the participation of physicists from HSE University, replicated the 1969 experiment on superconductivity and its properties. The scientists induced superconductivity by deliberately deteriorating the interfaces between the layers of superconductors and ferromagnets in the system, resulting in better performance of spin valves compared to the classical version, where the interfaces between the layers are ideal. This approach could lead to the development of more efficient devices for data storage and computing. The study findings have been published in the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology.

At the recent IDLab seminar, Daria Semenova, a research assistant at IDLab, presented an abstract of her dissertation on the topic: "Neuroeconomic Factors of Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Hedonic Products"

At a seminar held on December 12, 2024, P.M.Shilov, Candidate of Biological Sciences, M.Sc., V.V.Dokuchaev Soil Institute, spoke about the problems of development and promising growth points in soil geophysics.

Elena Popova made presentations at the seminars "Probability Logic" and "Mathematical Logic" on December 5 and 6.
