Jose Gonzalez obtained a degree in Electronic Engineering Technology Institute of Costa Rica. During this time his studies focused on hardware design, embedded systems and automatic control. In 2006 he was granted the MEXT scholarship from the Japan. This allowed him to obtain his master and doctoral degree in Medical System Engineering in the laboratory of Bio-robotics Assistive Devices from Chiba University. In 2010 he was granted the JSPS young research fellowship, which is the highest ranked scholarship in Japan. After graduating he was a postdoc fellow researcher in the Research Center for Frontier Medical Engineering in Chiba University, as well as a visiting researcher in the Neuro-rehabilitation department of the Medical University of Göttingen. Since July 2013 he has been working as a postdoc researcher in the Neural Rehabilitation group of the Cajal institute in the Spanish National Research Council in Spain.
