Education/research
|
2002- until present |
BM-Science - Brain and Mind Technologies Research Centre. Espoo, Finland. Position: Co-Heads of Research. The current research work focuses on developing a theoretical framework for metastable functioning of the human brain and mind (neurophenomenology) in order to advance understanding of consciousness and Self-awareness, as well as applying this framework to the functional continuum of healthy, altered, and pathological conditions. Development of qEEG screening services. |
|
2002- 2007 |
BioMag Laboratory, Medical Engineering Centre, Helsinki University Central Hospital. Helsinki, Finalnd. Position: collaborative researchers. The research work focus was on the microstructural analysis of qEEG/MEG signals under pharmacological influence. The reflection of dynamic informational processes in qEEG/MEG during perception and cognition was also studied. |
|
2003- 2004 |
University of Helsinki, Department of Psychology, Cognitive Science. Helsinki, Finland. Position: collaborative researchers. The research focused on the isomorphism of the qEEG/MEG microstructure to the structure of cognition and phenomenal experience. |
