Title: Brain imaging with magneto/electro-encephalography: from source localization to connectivity estimation


Abstract: Electroencephalography and Magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) are two powerful techniques recording signals from the brain at a one-millisecond resolution. EEG/MEG data are very rich in information and are currently used in many contexts, ranging from basic neuroscience to clinical applications. In this talk I will consider two intertwined problems related to the analysis of EEG/MEG data: (1) the source localization problem, amounting to estimating the neural currents underlying recorded time series; (2) the connectivity estimation problem, amounting to characterizing the interactions between spatially distinct areas.
