WELCOME
Founded in 2004 at Geneva University (UNIGE) and Geneva University
Hospital (HUG) the Electrical Neuroimaging Group works on the
development of methods
and models for the study of the bio-electro-magnetic activity of the
human body and the decoding of the information contained on available
electrophysiological signals .
In
particular we work
on data collected at our own facilities or from different national and
international collaborators
namely:
- EEG signals recorded in humans
- Multiunit activity recorded in monkeys and
- Local Field Potentials recorded in patients and monkeys.
As for the methods we are focused on the development of methods to deal
with multivariate spatio temporal time series as:
- Short EEG windows as used for the Single Trial anlysis
- Analysis of short non stationary signals in the time and the spectral
domain.
- Development of methods for the non invasive estimation of the
activity inside the brain.
-
Conectivity
analysis using scalp measured data, intracranial recordings or Local
Field Potentials non invasively estimated from the EEG.
- Multivariate pattern recognition techniques.
The current list
of the assets of the ENG
includes:
-
Proposal of several
linear inverse solutions (LAURA, EPIFOCUS, ELECTRA, WROP, ANA) for the
estimation of the activity inside the brain and methods for their
evaluation.
- Development of the only method available
(ELECTRA) for the non invasive
estimation of Local Field Potentials (LFP) using external EEG
measurements (link here).
- First proposal for the use of
inverse solutions for BCI at both the Swiss national level
and the international level.
-
Development of
online EEG analysis methods for
Neuro-Rehabilitation and efficient (asynchronous)
Brain Computer Interface
to control a wheel chair using brain waves.
-
First proposal of
single trial time frequency
analysis of pre stimulus state and
correlation with
behavior using
noninvasive LFP estimated with ELECTRA (link-here).
-
First work on mind
reading using inverse
solution on single trials. Decoding
of visual
percepts using 500 ms EEG windows and LFP estimated with ELECTRA (link-here)
- Description of the role of very
high
(>100) frequency oscillations in healthy subjects (link-here)
-
Single trial time
frequency analysis of emotional states in monkeys and humans.
Identification of the image valence using intracranial data measured in
monkey or inverse solutions estimates in healthy
subjects.
-
Identification of
the mechanisms of conscious perception and its disturbances in a
blindsight patient using non invasive Local Field Potentials.

SUPERVISION / CONSULTING
The Electrical Neuroimaging Group
offers consulting and supervision services for private and public
institutions on the following topics:
- Analysis of electrophysiological
signals (electroencephalogram EEG, electrocorticogram EcoG, Local field
Potentials LFP, Single Unit Activity SUA, Multiple Unit Activity MUA,
Skin Conductance, Electrocardiogram EKG, etc).
- Development and implementation of
realistic head models (MRI based) for source localization in
patients, single subjects (e.g. Epileptic focus localization,
blindsight, etc) or Average Evoked Potentials (event related
potentials).
- Real time EEG analysis for
Brain Computer Interfaces and Neurorehabilitation.
- Development and Implementation of
Brain Connectivity methods.
- Functional activation images based on non invasive estimation of
local field potentials (ELECTRA) and multivariate pattern recognition
methods.
The members of our group have a
long tradition and experience supervising / training / teaching
different groups and individuals as for example:
- Lemanic Neuroscience Program (Ph.
D and Master programs)
- Christoph M. Michel and the
Functional Brain Mapping Lab.
- Several Ph.D students and
Post-Doc's e.g. O. Blanke, M.
Murray, S. Morand, etc.
