Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(47), 13510-13515. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1608587113

The human brain relies upon the dynamic formation and dissolution of a hierarchy of functional networks to support ongoing cognition. However, how functional connectivities underlying such networks are supported by cortical microstructure remains poo...

The characterisation of dynamic electrophysiological brain networks, which form and dissolve in order to support ongoing cognitive function, is one of the most important goals in neuroscience. Here, we introduce a method for measuring such networks i... Read More about Measurement of dynamic task related functional networks using MEG.

On the potential of a new generation of magnetometers for MEG: a beamformer simulation study (2016)
Journal Article

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a sophisticated tool which yields rich information on the spatial, spectral and temporal signatures of human brain function. Despite unique potential, MEG is limited by a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which is caused...

Integrating cross-frequency and within band functional networks in resting-state MEG: A multi-layer network approach (2016)
Journal Article
Van Mieghem, P., Tewarie, P., Hillebrand, A., van Dijk, B. W., Stam, C. J., O'Neill, G. C., …Brookes, M. J. (2016). Integrating cross-frequency and within band functional networks in resting-state MEG: A multi-layer network approach. NeuroImage, 142, 324-336. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.07.057

Neuronal oscillations exist across a broad frequency spectrum, and are thought to provide a mechanism of interaction between spatially separated brain regions. Since ongoing mental activity necessitates the simultaneous formation of multiple networks...
