Brain stimulation & bayesian optimisation in fMRI by Dr Ines Violante
6 June 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm UTC+0
About the speaker
Dr Ines Violante is a Lecturer in Psychological Neuroscience in the School of Psychology, at the University of Surrey. She received BSc in Biochemistry and PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Following her PhD, Dr Violante was awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship to perform her research project at Imperial College London and University College London. Her research combines functional magnetic resonance imaging, spectroscopy and electroencephalography to understand how brain stimulation can be used to modulate brain dynamics and behavioural performance. She is interested in how brain oscillations mediate long-range connectivity and particularly how neurostimulation could be used to improve network communication following brain injury. She is also working in the development of new methods using real-time fMRI and machine learning to optimise stimulation protocols and tailor stimulation to an individual.
About the talk
Ines will be giving a talk on the use of Bayesian optimisation in neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation
