I am studying the role of neural oscillations during
goal-directed spatial navigation within familiar (virtually simulated)
environments. By employing magnetoencephalography (MEG) and analysing the
millisecond temporal resolution brain signals that span different frequencies,
we hope to elucidate 1) the relationship between neural oscillatory activity
(e.g. theta frequency) and spatial parameters like Euclidian and path
distances; 2) the on-going neural interactions between brain regions (of which
the human hippocampi, parietal and prefrontal areas will be of particular
interest) and their local oscillatory activity.
(When not trying to ‘spatial navigate’) I continue to collaborate with Joachim Gross (CCNi, Institute of Neuroscience & Psychology, University of Glasgow, UK) and colleagues at the Brain Sciences Center (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis VAMC, USA).
