On December 11, 2024, the innovation and research center The Sense is sponsoring a major scientific event organized by the group of the Prof. David Pascucci: the symposium “Oscillatory Brain Waves: Mechanisms, Functions, and Clinical Perspectives”.
General Overview
Nearly 100 years after the first electroencephalography (EEG) recordings, the analysis of brain waves remains at the heart of research in psychology and neuroscience, while being widely used in clinical diagnostics and rehabilitation.
As part of the collaboration between the Psychophysics and Neural Dynamics Lab (UNIL/CHUV/The Sense) and the Neuromove-rehab Lab (UNIPD), titled “Rhythms of the Brain: Integrating Knowledge from Perception and Sensory-Motor Research”, and funded by the strategic partnership between UNIL and UNIPD, this symposium will focus on cutting-edge methodological and theoretical issues in the study of brain waves.
This event also aims to highlight the contributions of early-career researchers, providing them with a platform to share their innovative work with an international academic and scientific audience.
Program Overview:
- Andrea Alamia (CNRS): Predictive coding and alpha rhythms.
- Isotta Rigoni (UNIGE): EEG networks for clinical applications.
- Edoardo Passarotto (UNIPD): Sensorimotor adaptation and posture.
- Dario Gordillo (Charité): EEG features in schizophrenia.
- Melissa Faggella (EPFL): Variability of event-related potentials.
- Maëlan Menétrey (UNIL/CHUV/The Sense): Alpha oscillations and visual perception.
- Mattia Pagnotta (UC Berkeley): Working memory and alpha oscillations.
- Martin Seeber (UCLA): Theta waves and spatial navigation.
