Om mig
- *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.
