"The MAMBO Lab is located in the building of the Institute for Advanced Biomedical Technologies (ITAB) in the University of Chieti-Pescara"
The MAMBO research group is located at the Institute for Advanced Biomedical Technologies (ITAB) of the University of Chieti-Pescara (UdA). It is headed by Laura Marzetti, Associate Professor of Physics. The main goal of the MAMBO research group is to develop signal analysis methods for neuroimaging data, with emphasis on methods for functional connectivity and phase synchronization.
Long-range phase synchronization of neuronal oscillations, at the same or at different frequencies, is the putative mechanism for communication between different brain regions. According to this framework, networks of phase synchronized brain regions are formed in the brain during rest or during cognitive tasks. The availability of robust methods to detect such networks and their interplay is crucial for the understanding of the mechanisms underlying human brain functioning. To tackle the limited signal-to-noise ratio of brain signals estimated from non-invasive electrophysiology in ongoing or induced activity, robust and reliable functional connectivity tools are needed. The MAMBO research group develops functional connectivity tools that include time and frequency domain methods, linear and non linear methods, bivariate and multivariate methods. Furthermore, we use these tools in combination to other imaging modalities, such as fcMRI or DTI.
The MAMBO research group is also active in the application of these tools to investigate and interpret electroencephalographic and magnetoencephalographic data from humans. Currently, key applications involve resting state, and perceptual decision making and attention tasks in healthy subjects and resting state in psychiatric disorders and brain tumor patients.
