The Cognition and Consciousness Imaging Group (CCIG), led by Dr. Emmanuel A. Stamatakis, is affiliated with the Division of Anaesthesia and the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge. 

Our interdisciplinary research aims to answer questions on the neural mechanisms underlying conscious and unconscious states. This includes work on brain network adaptive behaviours triggered by pharmacological agents (e.g. anaesthetics), trauma or gradual structural changes (e.g. ageing).

Research themes:

• • Neurobiology of consciousness: Anaesthesia, Disorders of Consciousness, Psychedelics

  • Neurobiology of traumatic brain injury 

  • Neuromodulatory effects of brainstem nuclei on large scale cortical networks

  • Ultra-High-Field MR neuroimaging

  • Artificial intelligence in neuroscience 

  • Neuroimaging genetics 

  • Computational cognitive neuroscience 

  • Brain dynamics and complexity 

  • Functional/structural architecture in health and disease

  • Neurobiology of language comprehension
