Lab manual: General guide and principles
Our lab is based at the Centre for Human Brain Health (CHBH) at the the University of Birmingham, which has world-class facilities including MRI, MEG, Optically pumped MEG, Focused Ultrasound Stimulation, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy, and EEG, and rich opportunities for training and collaboration.
We are always looking for people keen to study how the brain learns and controls skilled actions, sequencing and timing, and build neurotechnology to modify these processes to boost rehab (PD, stroke, dystonia, dyspraxia). We employ behavioural, non-invasive electrophysiological and neuroimaging techniques and data analyses (EMG, EEG, MEG, fMRI, TMS, brain-computer-interfaces) for that purpose. Please get in touch with me (k.kornysheva@bham.ac.uk) to discuss Postdoctoral, PhD, MSc, BSc and internship opportunities!
