FMRI

The BML uses movies, narratives, and VR to study human higher cognitive functions especially social cognition and emotions in ecologically valid stimulus and task conditions during neuroimaging. The laboratory develops new methods, in particular data-analysis approaches, hand-in-hand with the empirical work, and has been involved in translational research via collaborations.

Professor emeritus Risto Ilmoniemi is a physicist and neuroscientist working at Aalto University. He has built and designed multichannel MEG instruments and co-invented for MEG use the minimum-norm estimate, invented the signal-space projection and other mathematical methods for the forward and inverse problem, the channel-capacity measure for comparing sensor arrays, and the triangle phantom. With his co-workers, he has developed several transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques such as navigated TMS (nTMS), the combined use of TMS and EEG, and multi-locus TMS.

Staff scientist and data agent at Aalto University. I help researchers when they have an issue with: fMRI processing, handling sensitive data, statistics, performing large computations, code optimization, and many other things. I have a passion for brain networks.
