Senior Lecturer in Neurodevelopmental Science
Dr Batalle is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences, at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and the Department of Early Life Imaging.
He leads the Computational Developmental Neuroscience Lab and uses mathematical tools and computational models to study the emergence of structural and functional brain organisation during early development and how it changes through the lifespan, from infancy to adulthood.
His lab uses a variety of methods including graph theory, signal processing, and machine learning tools to characterise brain networks and features associated to atypical neurodevelopment, aiming to identify key developmental processes related to neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and ADHD.
They also characterise dynamic functional connectivity in neurodiverse populations through the lifespan, and how sensory stimuli modulates brain cognitive processes.
Dr Batalle is the Dissertation Module Lead for MSc in Clinical Neurodevelopmental Sciences, and contributes to teaching and supervision in a variety of courses including MSc in Neuroscience, MSc in Women & Children’s Health and MSc/MRes in Healthcare Technologies.
Gen2020 researchers will map the potential impact of prenatal exposures such as Covid-19 on fetal and childhood brain development and outcomes.
The Brain Imaging in Babies Study (BIBS) aims to improve understanding of how a baby's brain develops from before birth up until 3-4 years of age.
The rise in self-harm has been linked to increasing use of social media and internet technology among young people.
Project status: Ongoing
A new King’s College London scanning study of 390 babies has shown distinct patterns between term and preterm babies in the dynamic (moment-to-moment)...
Premature birth was associated with a profound reduction in connectivity between many brain regions, and with a reconfiguration of the organisation of...
