The Neuronal Oscillations Group
The Neuronal Oscillations group aims to explore how oscillatory brain activity shapes the functional architecture of the brain during cognitive processes. Specifically, we focus on the mechanistic roles that brain oscillations play in supporting key cognitive functions, such as attention and memory. We apply this insight to investigate the neuronal substrate of neurological and psychiatric disorders. By adopting a network-based approach, we utilize various techniques including MEG, intracranial recordings, computational modelling, and EEG combined with fMRI and TMS.
Currently, we are advancing OPM/MEG technology, with a special emphasis on its application in pediatric cognitive and clinical research. Our core goal is to investigate the development of attention mechanisms in children and understand how these mechanisms contribute to reading skills.
