Research

We investigate properties of brain structure, dynamics, function, and response to brain stimulation in health and disease. Our approach combines multimodal techniques and multiscale models.

Our current research spans three major directions

Brain Modelling

Our understanding of a system is limited by our models. We develop computational models to simulate brain activity. The long-term goal for this line is to obtain models capable of accurately simulating brain dynamics at the individual level.

Brain structure, dynamics, and function

Structure and function are tightly related in many physical and biological systems. To better understand the brain, we focus on studying the relationships between brain structure, dynamics, and function.

Brain stimulation

Brain stimulation holds great potential to manipulate brain dynamics. To better understand the effects of brain stimulation, a validated model needs to be developed to reproduce the effects of brain stimulation on whole-brain dynamics at the individual level as a large variability is observed in the effects of brain stimulation across subjects. We develop a principled approach aiming at rapidly accelerating the development of new protocols to optimize the effects of brain stimulation to rectify abnormal brain activity at the individual level.
