About me

  • *Research interest*
    My main research interests is understanding how epilepsy and epileptic
    activity develops in the brain, and how epileptic activity affects brain
    maturation during childhood. I am also interested in understanding how
    next-generation on-scalp MEG sensors can improve detection and
    characterization of epileptic networks.
    *@NatMEG*
    For the last three years, I have been working on projects aiming to
    characterize the clinical benefits of on-scalp MEG sensors within clinical
    epilepsy evaluations. Within this project, we performed the first-ever
    clinical on-scalp MEG measurement on an epilepsy patient. I also lead a
    conventional MEG study investigating dynamical neurophysiological effects
    underlying development of epileptic activity. During the fall, I will start a
    new MEG and structural MRI study investigating the effect of epileptic
    activity on the maturing brain.
    Apart from my research projects, I am currently responsible for all Swedish
    MEG measurements performed within clinical epilepsy evaluations.
