Research
The focus of our research is to understand how the human brain supports cognitive processes such as memory. Our aim is to advance this understanding to a level that enables the development of neurotechnology capable of restoring or supporting these functions when they are compromised by disease or injury.
To realise this goal, our lab follows the M3 approach, which stands for Measure, Model, and Modulate memory.
Measure refers to experiments in which we record neural activity during cognitive tasks across multiple spatial and temporal scales, ranging from single neurons to large neural populations measured with MEG, EEG, and fMRI.
Model refers to computational approaches that simulate behaviour and neural processes.
Modulate refers to stimulation studies in which we causally alter brain activity to change behaviour.
By integrating these approaches, we aim to generate fundamental discoveries about the neural basis of memory and establish the scientific foundations for innovative and scalable neurotechnologies. Ultimately, our goal is to contribute to solutions for major societal challenges posed by neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
