Dr. Frauscher's Lab for Analytical Neurophysiology seeks to employ a variety of quantifiable tools in order to shed light on neurophysiological and pathological processes We are currently looking for excellent Ph.D. students and Post-Docs to join our lab see information here.
lab’s research interest
Sleep and epilepsy
Investigation of the important interactions between sleep and epilepsy.
Seizure-independent EEG
Development of novel seizure-independent EEG markers for the epileptogenic zone in order to achieve a more accurate diagnosis of epilepsy.
Intracranial EEG to study the brain
The use of invasive intracranial EEG to study brain physiology during wakefulness and sleep in order to better delineate normal from abnormal brain activity. Our ultimate goal is to improve the care of people with epilepsy.
