• Cardiovascular autonomic control and brain function. Brain-Heart axis. Study of different analogs for spaceflight, like bed rest, head out water immersion, isolation & confinement (Studies in Antarctica).
• Heart rate variability as a method to asses stress and resilience, bridging the gap between psychological and physiological functions, towards an integrative neurovisceral approach to investigate the autonomic nervous system.
• Chronobiology: circadian rhythm assessment in extreme environments, cardiovascular autonomic control and its interplay with core body temperature.
• Cardiovascular autonomic control and physical performance, especially in extreme environments.
•  Exercise physiology.
