Research Interests
- Continued development of the EEGLAB software for EEG single-trial analysis and independent component analysis.
- EEG data mining using super-computers in large sets of data comprising thousands of subjects.
- Brain dynamics associated with mind wandering and its relationship to the default network.
- Neural correlates of meditation andother transcendental experiences in different traditions.

- fMRI Basics
Most current analysis methods for fMRI data assume a priori knowledge of the time course of the hemodynamic response (HR) to experimental stimuli or events in brain areas of interest. In addition, they typically assume homogeneity of both the HR and the non-HR "noise" signals, both across brain regions and across similar experimental events. When HRs vary unpredictably, from area to area or from trial to trial, an alternative approach is needed. Here, we use infomax Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to detect and visualize variations in single-trial HRs in event-related fMRI data.
Jean-Marc Fellous
Research Scientist
INC
Research Interests
Study of the neural bases of complex behaviors. Spatial navigation in ‘megaspace’ and hippocampal coding. Probabilistic decision making and the role of the prefrontal cortex. Rat-Robot interactions. Role of sleep in memory consolidation and optimization. Computational roles of neuromodulation. Neural bases of emotions. We use a combination of in vivo behaving techniques in the rodent (high density electrophysiology, optogenetics), and detailed biophysical computational modeling. More information at the Computational and Experimental Neuroscience Laboratory website.

Tzyy-Ping Jung
Research Scientist/Adjunct Professor
SCCN
Research Interests
- Analysis and interpretation of neural activity measured by EEG, MEG and fMRI associated with human cognition, awareness and perception.
- Brain-computer interface and interaction
- Development of mobile wireless EEG and BCI systems that feature dry EEG sensor arrays and integrated data and signal processing hardware and software to obtain non-invasive, high spatial and temporal resolution, recording and interpretation of brain activity in unconstrained, freely-moving human subjects within operational environments.
