Research Interests

Electrophysiology (EEG) and neuroimaging (fMRI) of change detection (mismatch negativity) and other cognitive processes. Simultaneous recording of EEG and fMRI to study the relationships between them. Source analysis of EEG data using standardized low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA, Pascual-Marqui, 2002).
