Neuromodulators are crucial for the brain function and while the effect of neuromodulation is relatively well studied, little is known about how neuromodulators affect the network activity dynamics. In this project we want to quantify the effects of neuromodulators on neuron/synapse properties and network structure and dynamics.

The doctoral student will be part of Dr. Kumar's research group. The research group uses computational and analytical methods to understand the dynamics and information processing in biological neuronal networks. The research in the Kumar lab is aimed at understading:

The role of oscillations and correlations in communication between different brain areas [e.g. see Hahn et al. Nature Rev. Neurosci. 2019]
Control of brain activity dynamics [e.g. see Vlachos et al. PloS Comp Bio 2016]
Interaction between neuron properties and network activity dynamics [Sahasranamam et al. Sci. Reports 2015, Spreizer et al. PloS Comp Bio 2010, Hahn et al. 2020]
Neural coding [e.g. Tauffer and Kumar 2020].

The research group is also developing mathematical models of brain diseases to understand the mechanisms underlying the emergence of disease related aberrant activity dynamics in brain diseases. More info.: https://www.kth.se/profile/arvindku/

Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Dr. Arvind Kumar

Vocal Tract Resonance

A "neutral" vowel is defined as a vowel produced by a vocal tract configuration that has uniform cross-sectional area along its entire length. Whilst no vowel articulation can actually meet this requirement accurately, the vowel in "heard" and some productions of schwa can approximate this configuration. For such vowels, and only for such vowels, the vocal tract can be treated mathematically as a single uniform tube closed at one end (the glottis) and open at the other (the lips) for the purposes of calculating the resonances of the vocal tract. See the topic "Standing Waves and Resonance" for further details.
For all other speech sounds the configuration of the vocal tract is much more complex. Figure 1 displays an x-ray derived medial section of a vocal tract during the production of a high central spread-lipped vowel.

What is this about?
Methodologies for neural signal processing in the case of natural scenes and sound perception.

How?
50% Lectures
25% Talks on case-studies
25% Hands-on tutorials


Where, when and how much?
• Online! 2-3 August.
• It is €20 for registration.


Participants?
• Researchers interested in studying natural speech or music perception with EEG/MEG/ECoG, but have no experience with ecologically-valid experiments.
• Researchers with experience in continuous sensory perception and tools such as the mTRF-Toolbox, who are interested in deepening their understanding and in expanding their set of tools.
Prerequisites?
• Some experience with neural signal processing (e.g., EEG, MEG, or ECoG).
• Some Matlab experience is required for the hands-on sessions.
• A practical interest in applying these notions.
