Cytoelectric Coupling: How Brain Waves Sculpt The Structure Of The Mind
A bold new theory proposes that electric fields could be the architects of the innermost workings of the brain.

My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.
Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.
It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography
My work on the application of a Hermite-based measure of non-Gaussinaity is now out! I am very grateful to have worked on such diverse topics for my Ph.D. and to have them published right when I graduated.

Briefly, this work explores a new measure of deviation from normality based on Hermite functions and evaluates the applicability of the new measure to normality testing and independent component analysis (ICA). The measure was tested on known distributions and simulated EEG datasets and compared to standard normality tests and a common ICA package. Our findings suggest that the measure shows promise as a normality test, with limited advantages for ICA.
Excited to share that my work on low-level language processing in severe brain injury was published in @braincomms! So happy to end my journey at @WeillCornell with this publication!
