Main lines of research :

Application of advanced MR techniques:

• to improve our ability to detect abnormalities that underlie a patient’s epilepsy
• to improve our ability to localise the generators of interictal and ictal epileptiform discharges
• to improve our understanding of the pathological substrate of epilepsy

What we can offer to  NEUROMATH partners :

• Hosting PhD students and researchers
• Sharing resting-state EEG-fMRI data processing and analysis methods
• Sharing high-quality structural MRI data (for source reconstruction purposes)
• Sharing resting-state MEG data

What we are looking for from other NEUROMATH partners :

• Algorithms for background EEG segmentation & classification
• Algorithms for the estimation of deep sources responsible for EEG (& MEG) signals
