​Falling asleep, entering sedation and being in a coma all have in common the loss of consciousness. How does brain activity change while consciousness disappears and re-emerges? The aim of my research is to further the understanding of how the dynamics of several measures of brain functioning –  such as frontoparietal connectivity, EEG microstates, or Kolmogorov complexity –  change at the boundary of consciousness.
Coming from the field of computer science, I am also interested in machine learning, artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, robotics, and philosophy.

Projects
  • EEG microstates and brain connectivity during the onset of sleep 
  • Brain connectivity and complexity during sedation
  • Predicting recovery from coma using graph-theoretical connectivity measures​
