Dr Kamen Tsvetanov University positionSenior Research Associate DepartmentsDepartment of Clinical Neurosciences InstitutesMRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Home pagehttp://www.kamentsvetanov.com/ (personal home page) Research ThemesInterestsDr. Tsvetanov is a Brain Non-Clinical Postdoctoral Fellow in cognitive neuroscience of ageing. The central goal of his research is to obtain a better understanding of the complex relationship between human brain dynamics and cognition in healthy ageing and age-degenerative diseases. He approaches this goal using a variety of methods – examining human neural dynamics at the neurophysiological, haemodynamic, and neurotransmitter levels with data-driven and generative modelling of magnetic resonance imaging and electrophysiological recordings. Research Focus
EquipmentBehavioural analysis Electroencephalography (EEG) Haemodynamic monitoring Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Neuropsychological testing Collaborators
