I am currently both a research fellow at UZH (Zurich,
Switzerland) and an honorary fellow at
the FIL (London, UK). My current and past research projects include:
- dynamical models
of neural ensembles;
- probabilistic
models of perception, learning and decision making;
- statistical (Bayesian) techniques for analyzing
behavioural and neuroimaging data.
I regularly review for a number of international journals,
including e.g. Neuroimage, Human Brain Mapping, Plos Computational Biology, J. of Neuroscience methods,
Neural Computation, Neuroscience and Biobehavioural
Reviews, Clinical Neurophysiology and several IEEE transactions. Since three
years, I am actively contributing to the development
of the “Statistical Parametric Mapping” (SPM) software, which is the
established gold-standard statistical paradigm in neuroimaging data analysis.
In addition, I am a lecturer at the
SPM course, which is held on a yearly basis. I also organized the first SPM course on EEG/MEG in Seoul, Korea, in
2008. Besides, I have been chairing
reading groups on neuroscience topics and am co-supervising one PhD
student at the UZH. Finally, I am collaborating with two pre-clinical
research groups on projects focused on epilepsy
(Prof. L. Lemieux, Chalfont Hospital, UK, and Prof. C. Grova,
MNI, Montreal,Canada).
