Dr. Craig Richter is a Canadian Neuroscientist who obtained his PhD at the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, Florida Atlantic University, in 2010. Since then, he has resided in Europe performing research at the Ernst Struegmann Institute in Cooperation with the Max Planck Society (ESI), Frankfurt, Germany, and the Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience Lab, Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris, France. He is currently a Ramon y Cajal Fellow with at the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL), San-Sebastian, Spain where he studies how cortical oscillations relate to perception and cognition.
Discovering functional networks using coupled cortical oscillations
Since the seminal work of Hans Berger, it has been understood that cortex often shifts between oscillatory regimes, that heavily correlate with cognitive state, and behavioural goals. In this talk, I will focus on modern theories and findings that investigate how these oscillatory states may modulate the passing and processing of information between cortical areas in a dynamic and adaptive fashion.
