Introduction

I am interested in how the brain works as a system. In particular, I am interested in how this system produces subjective experience. 

I also do work on how to make the scientific process more effective and sustainable. 

We work with neuroimaging data to understand the dynamics of the brain and how they are connected to its structure and physiology. In particular, we look at how these dymanics are connected to our subjective experience. This includes in people for whom that experience has altered, such as those with disorders of consciousness or psychiatric disorders

We cover topics such as:
