Research Interests

- Identification and classification of neuropathological brain dynamics in EEG/MEG
- Analysis of independent components (ICA) being “common” over distinct datasets
- Optimal clustering and mutual matching of unbalanced high-dimensional datasets
- Estimation of independent evoked components from single-channel LFP/TFP data
- Identification of stereotypical signal contributions in event-related potentials (ERP)


Recent Projects

- Application of coupled-subspace ICA (CSICA) to BCI specific ECoG datasets
- Development of a Common Independent Component Analysis (CICA) Toolbox
