My research is driven by a simple question: how do billions of interacting neurons give rise to coherent thought, perception and behaviour? Rather than viewing the brain as a collection of specialised regions, I approach it as a complex dynamical system, where large-scale patterns emerge from the interactions of countless oscillations. My work seeks to uncover the principles that govern these dynamics, how they remain both stable and adaptable, and how carefully designed perturbations can reveal the mechanisms that organise the system. By combining mathematical modelling with experimental neuromodulation, I aim to bridge theory and experiment in the study of large-scale brain dynamics.
