Each part of your brain has its own rhythmic ‘fingerprint'
A new study has found that each region of the brain has a uniquely identifiable pattern of oscillations – their own rhythmic fingerprint.
Joachim Gross is Professor of Systems Neuroscience, Acting Director of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging and Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator. His group investigates the functional role of brain oscillations using Neuroimaging and computational methods. His main goal is to understand how brain oscillations support perception and action. He obtained his M.Sc in Physics and Mathematics in San Angelo, USA in 1993 and his degree in Physics in Hannover, Germany in 1995. He was Ph.D. student at the Institute of Medicine, Research Center Juelich and the MPI for Cognitive Neuroscience in Leipzig. In 1998 he started working as a PostDoc in the Clinic of Neurology at the University of Duesseldorf on pathological oscillatory brain processes in movement disorders and pain. In 2006 he was appointed Professor at Glasgow University.
