Dr. Georgios Michalareas
Hauptforschungsgebiete
My research interests are focused in the thematic space of functional interactions between different human brain areas, using mainly neuroimaging (MEG/EEG) and human electrophysiology (ECOG/sEEG). I am very interested in the mechanisms that the brain employs in order to establish communication and synergy between and within its sub-networks, particularly through brain oscillations. Many areas of this thematic space remain largely undiscovered and that is where I aim my research.

When we go to the cinema, we partake in a complex experience. How does a series of two-dimensional images and sounds blend into an immersive, sometimes lifelike narrative experience? And how do different individuals in the movie theater become ...
