The Neurodynamics Laboratory is located in beautiful Boulder, Colorado in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Colorado.

Principal Investigator: Phillip M. Gilley, Ph.D.

The Neurodynamics Laboratory conducts research on the development and plasticity of multisensory, cortical interactions in the brain. We are interested in studying how sensory systems develop, and how modulation of multisensory processes affects the sensory pathways in the brain. Our approach to this research is through functional neurodynamics. We use several different brain imaging techniques to study sensory processes, including high-density EEG and evoked potentials (EPs/ERPs), functional MRI (fMRI), and magnetoencephalography (MEG).

The analysis of dynamic brain signals involves a variety of approaches for examining single trial data, including time-frequency decomposition (e.g., wavelet decomposition, tree-basis pursuit, matching pursuit) and component decomposition (e.g., principal component analysis, independent component analysis). In general, we are interested in improving the uses of statistical techniques for localizing sources of brain activity from different imaging modalities. By combining these analyses with information from behavioral tasks during the recording, we aim to describe and define the neural processes associated with functional outcomes.
