Congratulations to Felipe Torres for his accepted Postdoctoral ANID Fondecyt project titled Selective controllability of synchrony and dynamics of functional brain networks. January 2023. The project proposes using control network theory to identify and subsequently enhance the use of external stimuli in neuro-rehabilitation.

Congratulations to Alejandro Weinstein for his accepted application project FONDECYT titled Novel EEG topography analysis using Graph Signal Processing and Network Control Theory. It is a transdisciplinary project that combines, on the one hand, techniques of control and signal processing developed over the past decade, with processing and analysis of the electroencephalogram. This application will improve information, both for clinical use and scientific, which can be extracted from this type of signal.

Mission

The Brain Dynamics Lab is a multidisciplinary research laboratory that studies brain dynamics, predominantly in humans, in order to understand the mechanisms giving rise to cognitive function and dysfunctions.

We interpret the brain as a highly dynamic self-organising system, which continuously adapts to a changing, uncertain and noisy environment, by dynamically modifying its structure and function, relying on the history of previously processed information. Such an amazing capability is thought to be a fundamental computational property of the brain, which we observe in the way it shapes the behaviour and the way it manifests in Neuroscience data. We approach the above problem by bridging the gap between the underlying neuronal dynamics and the emergent responses, whether they are of behavioural or of neurophysiological (M/EEG and fMRI) nature. In order to face such an ambitious goal, our lab then attracts expertise from a wide spectrum of disciplines including STEM, biological, psychological and clinical sciences.
Our work is currently funded by: The UK Medical Research Council; The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council; Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica and the Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
