New technique for studying human brain activity

Summary

More about Associate Professor Craig Jin Stay in touch

This project investigates stimulus reconstruction from surface EEG neural activity. Improvements to surface EEG recordings may proceed with the development of skull impedance modelling using impedance tomography and magnetic resonance imaging technology. We propose to investigate the influence of behaviour on stimulus reconstruction from EEG neural activity in primary auditory cortex.

Supervisors

Synopsis

This leading research project explores improvements to surface EEG imaging using impedance tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Stimulus reconstructions from neural EEG activity provide a means to investigate primary auditory cortex.
