DESCRIPTION OF WORK / BIOSKETCH
My main interest is how the large-scale integration over multiple human brain systems occurs. More specifically, I am investigating how the auditory, visual, somatosensory, and motor systems are integrated (multisensory and sensorimotor integration). I am also studying how learning influences interactions between these systems. Another key aspect of my work maps neuronal activation trace lifetimes in the healthy and diseased human brain and examines how their abnormalities may cause symptoms.
To understand the neural mechanisms we use several noninvasive and safe imaging methods that reveal different aspects of brain structure and functions (MRI-DTI-fMRI-MEG-EEG-optical-TMS-behavioral measurements). A different aspect of my work deals with how to combine these different imaging modalities (multimodal imaging). I am also involved in developing methods for modeling dynamic interactions between areas in large-scale networks (spatiotemporally accurate Granger causality).
