Tools for quantifying beta burst dynamics across cortical layers

Led by: Bjørg Kilavik (bjorg.kilavik@univ-amu.fr), ...

Project Description

Discuss adequate existing analysis methods and tools, and if necessary work towards establishing new tools (in matlab or python) to quantify the dynamics of individual burst/spindle events of LFP beta oscillations across macaque motor cortical layers.

Example scientific questions that can be addressed once such tools are identified/developed:

  1. To which extent do individual beta burst events have the same cortical depth of origin?
  2. What is the spread across cortical depth of individual bursts?
  3. Do bursts 'translate' or spread across cortical depth (laminar contacts), between the start and end of an individual burst?
  4. What about phase consistency across cortical depth for each oscillation cycle, from the start to the end of each burst?

Skills required to participate

Experience in analysis of electrophysiological data, or in analysis techniques used in other fields that can be translated to the electrophysiological domain
