Cyprus

 Laboratory for Human Brain Dynamics – Cyprus (LHBD-C)

General Information :

• Location: Nicosia, Cyprus
• Personnel:
        - 4 senior researchers
        - 5 visiting staff
        - 5 master thesis and PhD (distant) students
• Equipment: MEG analysis software and hardware
  
• Contact: Prof. Andreas A. Ioannides
• Email: ioannides@postman.riken.jp
  

 The main research lines :

• Study of human brain activity using primarily MEG, but also EEG, MRI, fMRI and DTI
• Special interest in higher cognitive function, attention, sleep, emotions and artistic appreciation and expression
• Special emphasis on:
        - Single trial analysis
        - Tomographic reconstructions of activity
        - Connectivity at different timescales (ms to minutes)
        - Design of MEG and EEG experiments to fully exploit the spatiotemporal information available in the signal
• Behavioral experiments 
  

What it is offered to the other NEUROMATH partners :

• Hosting PhD students and researchers from other laboratories of Neuromath, supported by the STSM
        - To analyze MEG data already available at LHBD-C
        - To perform behavioral studies (and EEG in the future)
        - To plan joint studies
• Processing of single trial MEG data, especially from clinical cases where real-time imaging is essential
• Derivation of local & global brain networks related to specific tasks or states (e.g. sleep)

What we are looking for in the other NEUROMATH partners :

• Partners to develop next generation of MEG and EEG hardware and software
• Partners for in depth studies with MEG and other neuroimaging hardware wishing to explore in real-time:
        - Specific cognitive functions and states of the normal brain
        - Specific clinical conditions (e.g. schizophrenia, epilepsy)
