He was a research fellow at the EMBL-CRG Centre for Genomic Regulation&nbsp;and at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon. His research spans from the origins&nbsp;of&nbsp;the arrow&nbsp;of&nbsp;time in inert&nbsp;systems, to the&nbsp;neurobiology&nbsp;of&nbsp;action-perception in living organisms such as flies, worms, mice, and&nbsp;humans. Since 2016 he is the head&nbsp;of&nbsp;the Behavior&nbsp;of&nbsp;Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante, where he is an Associate Professor&nbsp;of&nbsp;the Spanish&nbsp;Research Council.
