This fully funded Department of Psychiatry project investigates how the timing and coordination of brain network activity shape human cognition. Combining magnetoencephalography (MEG), computational modelling and cognitive experiments, it aims to uncover the neural dynamics underlying flexible behaviour.
The successful applicant will join Dr Mats van Es' research group at the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA), part of the Oxford Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (OxCIN). Building on our recent discovery of recurring cycles of brain network activity, we develop computational approaches to understand their underlying mechanisms, functional significance and potential for intervention.
