OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Closed-loop auditory stimulation of alpha oscillations in different vigilance states and possible implications for sleep dynamics
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.
