Honours research
I am currently using brain stimulation to probe cortical processing under attentional load. In the past, researchers have provided new ways to identify hidden brain states by TMS-EPs, usually in terms of wakefulness and sleep. By applying this paradigm to attention, I aim to assess cortical reactivity in the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) to assess underlying brain states for spatial attention. The goal is to map activity changes within the cortex via TMS-EPs, manipulating task difficulty and side of attention.
