Key research topics

Current projects are conducted with healthy participants using scalp EEG, and with epilepsy patients that have been implanted with depth-electrodes for chronic seizure monitoring. Electrodes are used to either record neuronal activity or to stimulate neural tissue directly by delivering small electric currents. Basic knowledge from memory research is also used in projects that investigate the use of information and communication technologies for the acquisition of a second language.
