Cognitive Electrophysiology Laboratory
 Gad Hakerem, Ph.D. Principal Investigator |
Research Interests:
In the last 20 years techniques have been developed to identify the neuronal sources of cognitive activity and information processing. FMRI, SPECT and PET are such methods, but they have very poor temporal resolution. Cognition and information processing takes place in milli- or microseconds. Event-related potentials allow for the recording of information processes at this level.
The aim of the research work in the Cognitive Electrophysiology Lab is to investigate how neurological problems affect human perception, thinking and learning.
The combination of State-of-the-Art facility, the availability of a diverse patient population that is afflicted with cognitive deficits of varying magnitude and a Basic Research oriented faculty is uniquely suited to investigate the usefulness of cognitive electrophysiological examination in the localization of neurological functions and dysfunctions.
Research Populations:
- Epilepsy
- Brain Tumor
- Stroke
- Coma
