Topic: electrode placement

This two-year scholarship in Helena Grip’s group combines neuroimaging with motion analysis to study treatment outcomes in essential tremor. The project relates deep-brain-stimulation electrode placement and settings, and focused-ultrasound ablation location and extent, to tremor control and adverse effects on balance and gait. Work connects brain imaging with muscle-activity and movement measurements through the Umeå Centre for Functional Brain Imaging and U-Motion Laboratory. The scholarship is funded by the Kempe Foundations, with a start by agreement.

This practical workshop explains how to establish chronic video-EEG recordings in rodent epilepsy models, from equipment and electrode placement to seizure monitoring and data management. Analysis ranges from spike and seizure quantification to machine learning. A second component introduces Motion Sequencing (MoSeq), an unbiased method for identifying and measuring behavior from video, with workflows for studying seizures, behavioral changes and associated conditions. Participants examine the hardware, software and implementation choices needed to introduce both approaches into their laborato
