Profs. Satu Palva, Gregor Thut and Matias Palva, from the Centre of Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi), INP, have been awarded a 3-year grant of ~£654k  from MRC to conduct an investigation for understanding Multi-scale brain network mechanisms of working memory (WM) and short-term memory (STM).

The project uses state-of-the art multimodal neuroimaging with combined magneto/ electroencephalography (M/EEG) and combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-EEG and exploit cutting-edge analyses of complex brain networks to establish the systems-level neuronal mechanisms underlying the maintenance of information in STM  and WM. The overarching goal is to resolve the multi-scale brain oscillatory network mechanisms of STM and WM and discover how distributed neuronal processing is integrated into subjectively coherent memories.
