Signal Processing and EEG
I spent two decades investigating the neurovascular coupling relationships that underpin blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic imaging (fMRI). I now use the signal processing techniques inherent in neurovascular research to analyse EEG and fMRI signals from cognitive neuroscience studies investigating differences in neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g. ASC with Professor Liz Milne) and underlying genetic syndromes (e.g. Copy Number Variants such as 16p11.2 & 22q11.2 with Dr Alisdair McNeil). Analyses include time frequency (e.g. Wavelets) and Entropy (e.g. MSE).
Individual Differences
Both EEG signals and psychophysical task performance differ in neurodevelopmental conditions and correlate with the corresponding traits in the general population. However, such traits are often correlated with one another and with general personality dimensions. As such, I am examining the interrelations between these personality variables and whether their relationships with EEG metrics and psychophysical task performance are unique
EEG and fMRI
Data is collected here in 91直播 (EEG) or obtained from 鈥榖ig data鈥 sets (EEG, FMRI). I am also using EEG to investigate the role of anticipation in Sports (with Professor Richard Rowe).
Neuromodulation (tDCS)
Using neuromodulation techniques (e.g. tDCS) to attempt to alter psychophysical task performance and EEG signals in neurotypical subjects can aid the interpretation of differences observed in neurodevelopmental conditions. I am also using tDCS to attempt to enhance working memory training and analysing clinical trial data that use tDCS to ameliorate tinnitus symptoms.
