Electrophysiology

We aim to understand how the human brain works by following electrophysiological and hemodynamic changes by means of noninvasive imaging: magnetoencephalography (MEG) to track brain dynamics at millisecond scale and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to spot the active brain areas with millimeter precision. This systems-neuroscience approach suits well for merging information from many fields of science interested in human behavior: neuroscience, psychology, social psychology, neurology, and psychiatry. We translate basic-research results to clinics via CliniMEG.

The complexity of the neuronal connections is formed during development under the guidance of both genetic and environmental factors. The interplay between genetic blueprint and neuronal activity results in formation of synaptic connections pattern, unique for each individual. Genetic or environmental alterations in this process may push developing network towards pathological attractor state, leading to progression of a neurodevelopmental disorder.
