Connectionists: Postdoc position: neural mass modeling of epileptic discharges

[Maureen Clerc]

A new postdoc position is available at INRIA (Odyssée project-team, 
Sophia Antipolis) and INSERM (U751, Marseille).

Topic:
Investigation of the fluctuations of neuronal activity during epileptic 
discharges and comparison with the states of a neural mass model.

Framework:
The project takes place within a collaboration between INRIA and INSERM 
on models for the interpretation of multimodal datasets (MEG, EEG, 
fMRI). The goal of this project is to build computational models for the 
generation of multimodal data, in order to (i) gain a better 
understanding of the impact of the different parameters of neuronal 
activity on simulated non-invasive measurements (ii) use 
neural-mass-type models in an inverse problem of source estimation from 
MEG/EEG/fMRI.
