Auditory evoked potentials elicited by closed-loop stimulation during sleep in children and adults
Sep. 2023 - Sep. 2024
This project was conducted under the supervision of Prof Dr Reto Huber at Kinderspital Zürich.
- Description: Investigation of the impact of closed-loop down-phase targeted stimulation during NREM sleep in a pediatric population and comparing the characteristics of AEP components (amplitude and latency) between children and adults to identify age-related differences.
- Dataset: High-density EEG recordings and behavioural assessment of 14 healthy adults and eight healthy children.
- Responsibilities: Collection of physiological and behavioural data, processing and analysis, using AI-driven systems, manual scoring and statistical software. Results presentation.
- The following processing of the collected data set included an in-depth analysis of the EEG activity of healthy children Poster

The role of articulation in novel word learning
Sep. 2021 - Feb. 2022
This project was conducted under the supervision of Dr Marina Vasilyeva at Laboratory of Behavioral Neurodynamics.
- Description: This project's goal was to define brain dynamics elicited by novel words following a single-shot semantic associative learning task combined with sensorimotor (articulatory) training and to estimate cortical underpinnings of this process in the developing brain.
- Responsibilities: Developing a new paradigm of fast-mapping learning. Experiment design, HD-eeg data collecting, and Wechsler iq assessment. Data analysis.
- Outcomes: Report, Report
