Human Neuroscience Laboratory University of California, Irvine
Theoretical and experimental research at the Human Neuroscience Laboratory (HNL) is focused on the integrative function of the brain in cognition. Our working hypothesis is that cognition involves the interaction between local processes in specific regions of the cortex and global brain networks. We carry out experimental studies using EEG, MEG, TMS, and fMRI on visual and auditory perception and attention, and we use volume conduction and dynamic models to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying our findings. Details of our studies can be found in the Publication page and Research Personnel descriptions.
The Human Neuroscience Lab will be in full force
at this years Society for Neuroscience
meeting in San Diego, November 13th-17th. Javi is giving a talk on "Temporal
frequency tuning in non-retinotopic cortex", Lavanya
is giving a talk on "Fast-action gaming affects the neural strategies underlying selective
attention " and David is presenting a poster "Cortical responses
to an unattended flicker reflect modulations in attention within and across tasks".
