I am a practical electrophysiologist specialized on multi-electrode array cortical recordings of behaving monkeys. My special interest is on:

  • Functional connectivity of in parallel recorded neurons (spike correlations) or recording sides (field-field coherence, Granger causality) across different cortical areas.
  • Topological analyses (graph theoretical measures) of the complex network structure of functional connectivity.
  • Population coding of large neuronal populations analyzing their high dimensional neuronal state space.
  • Decision making following higher cognitive rules using the previous described methods.
