I am an Associate Professor of brain development at the Department of Psychology. I received my Ph.D. at the Helsinki University of Technology a in 2008 and I have been at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ since 2019, focusing on the use of advanced analysis methods for various kinds of magnetoencephalography data sets.
The overarching goal of my research is to understand how different local and network patterns of neural activity and connectivity form the effective, resilient and adaptive system that allows the brain to support the extensive scope tasks humans face every day. I approach this question by developing signal processing and analysis methods and by applying advanced statistical and computational analyses on various kinds of neuroimaging data collected from healthy subjects across the human lifespan as well as from patient populations. In particular, my aim is to determine, based on electrophysiological recordings (primarily magnetoencephalography), the links between various kinds of neural processes (phase-locked, oscillatory and aperiodic activity, cortico-peripheral and cortico-cortical connectivity) and quantifiable aspects of behavior.
