Neuronal learning mechanisms

In our electroencephalograpy(EEG) studies we addresses how infants, children and adults sample novel information from their environment and build up lasting memories. Specifically, we are interested how neural mechanisms develop and change from infancy to adulthood. Our focus lies on neural oscillation, which constitute the foundation of neural communication and learning processes. Finally, we use rhythmic visual stimulation methods to modify neural learning processes and thereby promote human learning.
