Profs. Gregor Thut, Matias Palva, and Satu Palva, from the Centre of Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi), INP, have been awarded a grant of £641k from MRC to conduct an investigation into the mechanisms that coordinate network communication in the human brain.
The grant has a duration of 3 years and the project is titled 'Causal roles of neural synchrony in signal transmission and cognition in the human brain'.
The project uses state-of-the art magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques in a common data-driven analyses framework. This will allow to test in novel ways current models on how human brain network interactions underlying cognition come about, and to advance the tools for studying and modulating these processes.
