Systems Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroimaging

大脑研究在很大程度上成功地阐明了大脑各个区域的功能。然而，不同区域之间信息交换的机制仍然是个谜。我的研究目标是通过(a)探索它们的神经元机制和(b)揭示它们在认知中的作用，显著扩展我们对皮层通信和大脑网络动力学的理解。为此，我们将使用侵入性和非侵入性脑测量以及最先进的神经成像，信号处理和人工智能方法的独特组合。我们的发现将极大地增强我们对健康时大脑连接的理解，并最终使其在疾病中崩溃。

Brain research has been largely successful in elucidating the function of individual brain regions. However, the mechanisms by which information is exchanged between distinct areas remain enigmatic. The goal of my research is to significantly expand our understanding of cortical communication and brain network dynamics by (a) exploring their neuronal mechanisms and (b) unravelling their role in cognition. To this end we will use a unique combination of invasive and non-invasive brain measurements and state-of-the-art neuro-imaging, signal processing and artificial intelligence methods. Our findings will critically enhance our understanding of brain connectivity in health, and ultimately its breakdown in disease.
