On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Brain rhythms are associated with fundamental processes, from sleep to cognitive functions. Targeted approaches that can shape oscillatory activity are needed to understand the mechanisms by which specific rhythms relate to brain function and for clinical interventions. During this talk, I will introduce a Closed-Loop Auditory Stimulation (CLAS) approach to modulate and investigate fast brain rhythms in humans with specificity and selectivity, using targeted auditory stimulation. I will present a series of experiments targeting the alpha oscillation in humans, showing how this approach shapes alpha activity in a phase-dependent manner and can be applied to modulate sleep onset dynamics and REM sleep.
