Description
Motivation and application domain
The human brain exhibits complex temporal dynamics that regulate functional responses to endogenous/exogenous triggers. These dynamical responses emerge by the synchornised interactions between group of neurons.
General objectives and main activities
The main objective is to study the cortical architecture of phase lags in the human brain
Main activities include:
1. extending current Kuramoto model to include phase lags between oscillators
2. fit the emerging dynamics from the model to real dynamics extracted from electrophysiological observations

Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)
The student will be involved in the research activities of the Laboratory of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering,
• The project consists of an initial phase of bibliographic research, in order to gain knowledge of the state of the art.
• Subsequently, the student will produce a code to analyze the electrophysiological recordings
• The last step is the interpretation of the results obtained with the help of a clinician.
