Research interests:

Application of the concepts of synergetics and the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems to behavioral sciences, biology, and medicine. Especially, the macroscopic modeling of the spatiotemporal dynamics of human EEG and MEG, and combining theses dynamical measures with structural and functional information obtained from MRI and fMRI.
