Atypical brain network dynamics in neurodevelopmental disorders
Neurophysiological processes and behavioral responses in human subjects are measurable using indirectly noninvasive fMRI, directly using surface recording using EEG, MEG– Brain oscillations, normal responses change due to cortical lesion, learning, memory consolidation — and interacts dynamically with the intrinsic spontaneous oscillations that are inevitably present in the brain due to large-scale anatomy and connectivity between the brain modules (inter and intra-hemispheric connectivity) in the absence of external stimuli. We are interested in the specific alteration in the cognitive response and try to understand mechanistically underlying neuronal changes from which they derive. To address the above research problem we systematically develop mathematical tools for understanding how brain networks reconfigure over multiple time scales. Along with our collaborators with their expertise in human behaviour, we apply these tools to understand perceptual learning, vision, and psychiatric disease.

Multi-scale, Multimodal imaging and machine learning methods to characterise impact of brain lesions, axonal injury in structure-function-dynamics relationship in cognitive processing and functional recovery
The human brain is a complex system capable of producing non-stationary spatiotemporal signals. Mathematical descriptions based on neural mass models describing population firing rate and time-dependent analysis of regional time series is capable of making predictions about systems dynamics. This further establishes a direct bridge between biologically inspired theory, simulations, and experimental design. This informed prediction from theory based on biological constraints serves as an important tool for designing novel sensory stimuli to probe brain dynamics at multiple spatial and temporal scales of organization. In our lab, we examine structural and functional brain networks using data from non-invasive neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, MEG, MRI, DTI, DSI). Our goal is to determine fundamental organizational principles of both underlying anatomy and specificity of functional dynamics. Our results collectively point to principles of the topology of networks that supports certain function of modules, spatial and temporal scaling of network organization, and network adaptability in response to increasing cognitive demands or in the context of learning. We are also interested in the recently emerging field of computational neuropsychiatry where complementary evidence accumulates from neuropsychiatric disease, specifically schizophrenia, the Parkinsonian disease that exhibits disruption of normal connectivity patterns, the prevalence of wiring inefficiency, disruption of neurochemical balance and as a consequence impact directly whole brain network dynamics.

How sensory processing, perception, attention, predictive coding and learning give rise to memory and cognitive processing using behaviour, EEG, MEG and fMRI
We aim to investigate the role of local oscillations in a normal human brain and also a functional role of abnormal oscillations in the neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by alterations in a distributed activity across brain areas. We use network methods to uncover changes in large-scale brain circuitry that impact on cognitive function and behaviour with the goal of identifying underlying neurophysiological processes of the disease and informing clinical interventions using brain network recovery studies. Critical behaviour in rest-state dynamics: The precise neuronal mechanism generating close to critical dynamics in the brain is hitherto unresolved despite numerous recent investigations. What features of this critical state can be observed in the brain to conjecture that it is critical? To mathematically describe empirical observations we study cortical long-range correlations in space and time. For short-range correlations specifically look at features such as neuronal avalanches providing stability. At behavioural level dynamics is burst-like (e.g. synchronized gamma band (40-80Hz) burst evoked during stimulus detection or attention). We also develop drift-diffusion models based on statistical physics to study the mesoscopic dynamics of neural masses distributed in the various graph like entities such as voxels, nodes comprising several brain areas connected via realistic structural connectivity matrix.

Brain state dependent stimulations, feedback and modulation of neurophysiological responses and oscillatory changes
Collective dynamics can create complex patterns of the population of neurons. Spiking dynamics occur on a fast time scale typically observed in-vivo in neuronal microcircuits and bursting dynamics occur on a much slower time scales. We study the behavior of large populations constrained by properties and the paucity of physical connections between the connected units and subtype of synapses. In this work, we build classes of models and apply machine learning principles such as gradient descent algorithm, multi-parametric search to infer the underlying model state space, biophysical mechanisms responsible for observed neuronal dynamics.
