Combining different brain recordings to map slow brain activity
Multimodal Data Analysis and Integration
This project brings together EEG, fMRI, and other brain recordings from people and primates to map slow brain activity that influences thinking and behavior.

What this research studies
You would be contributing brain recordings such as EEG or fMRI, and in some parts clinical electrode recordings, that researchers will align across methods and species. The team builds computational models to find common brain activity patterns and how those patterns change over time. They compare data from people and nonhuman primates to link findings across species. The goal is to create a shared framework so future work can better interpret brain signals from different tests.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults who can undergo noninvasive brain scans (EEG, fMRI) and, for some parts, patients already receiving clinical monitoring that includes invasive recordings.
Not a fit: People unable or unwilling to have brain imaging or invasive monitoring, or whose conditions do not involve brain network activity, may not receive direct benefit from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work may help researchers identify clearer brain signatures that guide future diagnosis or treatment approaches for brain disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have identified slow brain rhythms with EEG and fMRI, but combining multiple recording types and aligning findings across humans and primates is a more recent and developing approach.
