Positions

We are running several research projects aiming to understand the brain from the prisms of neuropsychology and neurophysiology. For this projects, we are open to receive PhD candidates in the following areas:

  • Psychologists with experience in neuropsychological evaluation.
  • Psychologists with special interest in cognitive neuroscience.
  • Physics with interest in signal processing and neurosciences.
  • Engineers with interest in signal processing and neurosciences.

If you are interested, contact us by sending an email to c3n@ucm.es.

We are also open to visiting scientist and PhD students from all around the world. Nevertheless, these collaborations are currently on hold due to the COVID-19 situation. Nevertheless, if you are interested in a research visit in the near future, send an email to the address above and we will evaluate the different options.

Software

HERMES, the easy way to estimate connectivity

The analysis of the interdependence between time series has become an important field of research in the last years, mainly as a result of advances in the characterization of dynamical systems from the signals they produce, and the introduction of concepts such as Generalized (GS) and Phase synchronization (PS) and information theory as applied to time series analysis. In neurophysiology, different analytical tools stemming from these concepts have added to the “traditional” set of linear methods, which include the cross-correlation function (in the time domain), the coherence function (in the frequency domain) or more elaborated tools such as Granger Causality. The LNCyC developed HERMES, a toolbox for the Matlab® environment designed to study functional and effective brain connectivity from neurophysiological data such as multivariate EEG and/or MEG records. HERMES also provides visualization tools and statistical methods to address the problem of multiple comparisons
