Sponsored by the Brain Mapping Medical Research Organization and Brain Mapping Support Foundation
The focus of these talks is on advancing the use of brain mapping methods in neuroscience with an emphasis on contemporary issues of neuroplasticity, neurodevelopment, and biomarker development in neuropsychiatric disease.

“Multimodal measures & mechanisms of attention deficits”
Agatha Lenartowicz, PhD Associate Professor Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, UCLA Brain Research Institute Ssemel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior
In this talk, I will present our efforts to develop methods for assessment of attention deficits and their mechanisms. In particular, I will discuss the role of neural oscillations in tracking attention-related processes, and present evidence from multimodal (EEG, concurrent EEG-fMRI, mobile-EEG) methods that support a fundamental role of these oscillations in tracking cortical excitability rather than a specific attentional process. I will also discuss alternate interpretations of these oscillations, that vary with analytical and experimental context in which they are measured, and present evidence to support their value in deployment in naturalistic environments.
