Research group: Systems of Learning and Memory

Signe is a doctoral student who joined the group in April 2014. In her PhD project, she investigates the functional role of pre-stimulus brain activity in memory formation. She examines the nature of oscillatory states that seem to be beneficial for the encoding of new information, how such states can be modulated and whether these modulations can be used to influence encoding success. Methodologically, she is interested in EEG time-frequency analyses, brain-computer-interfaces and combined EEG-fMRI measurements.
