Esittely
Olen aivojen kehityksen tutkimuksen apulaisprofessori psykologian laitoksella. Olen väitellyt Teknillisestä Korkeakoulusta vuonna 2008 ja työskennellyt vuodesta 2019 lähtien Jyväskylän yliopistossa keskittyen kehittyneiden analyysimenetelmien käyttöön erilaisissa magnetoenkefalografialla mitatuissa aineistoissa.
Tutkimuskuvaus
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.
