Dear Users
This Thursday (YNiC open plan from 4.30 pm) there will be a presentation
by Krish Singh from CUBRIC. The title of Krish's talk is "Non-invasive MEG
measures of cortical oscillatory dynamics in health and disease".
Abstract: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) allows the non-invasive
localisation and characterisation of a range of cortical oscillatory
phenomena, which are
increasingly thought to reflect both local and network properties of the
neural populations underpinning different aspects of perceptual and
cognitive function. These studies reveal complex, task-specific and
spatially localised effects, some of which appear to be co-localised with
the BOLD-fMRI response to the same task. In this talk I shall explain some
of the methodology behind these studies and how these human MEG signals
compare with invasive recordings in both animals and humans. The main
focus
will be in looking at how individual differences in oscillatory parameters
such as amplitude and frequency can be related to variations in
perceptual/behavioural task performance and to individual differences in
neurotransmitter concentrations. Finally I will talk about the relevance
of
these studies to clinical conditions such as Epilepsy and Schizophrenia.
Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided
afterwards.
Best wishes
Rebecca
