tpjung@ucsd.edu

Research Interests

• Analysis and interpretation of neural activity measured by EEG, MEG and fMRI associated with human cognition, awareness and perception.
• Brain-computer interface and interaction
• Development of mobile wireless EEG and BCI systems that feature dry EEG sensor arrays and integrated data and signal processing hardware and software to obtain non-invasive, high spatial and temporal resolution, recording and interpretation of brain activity in unconstrained, freely-moving human subjects within operational environments.

adelorme@ucsd.edu

Research Interests

• AI and large scale EEG analysis, including machine learning methods for extracting robust and reproducible patterns from complex electrophysiological data.
• Meditation and altered states of consciousness, with emphasis on how contemplative practices change brain dynamics and subjective experience.
• Mind wandering and conscious experience, including the neural signatures of spontaneous thought, attention shifts, and changes in awareness.
