Working Together For Your Child's Health
Founded in August 2011, the main goal of the FBM-BCI Lab is to assist the comprehensive epilepsy surgery program and improve outcomes of epilepsy surgery. We are focusing on implementing brain imaging techniques to investigate cognitive, sensory, and motor function in epilepsy patients. From clinical side, we are closely working with the Comprehensive Pediatric Epilepsy Center at AdventHealth for Children directed by Dr. Ki Lee, MD. From research side, we are greatly supported by the Center for Pediatric Research at AdventHealth for Children directed by Dr. Patricia Robinson, PhD, CPNP.
We’re here to help you find the right physician or a location that’s convenient for you.
Improving The Lives of Patients Is Who We Are
Here at the Functional Brain Mapping and Brain Computer Interface Lab, we're always pushing the boundaries of study in epilepsy surgery. Our clinical work includes multi-modal imaging fusion for epilepsy surgery, as well as functional brain mapping with ECoG, EEG and fMRI for pre-surgical evaluation. But that's just part of what we're called to do for your child.
- Research Projects
-
AdventHealth for Children is proud to announce that we recently received IRB and ORA approval for our five-year human research study: Improving Outcomes of Epilepsy Surgery. Other research projects furthering our scope of knowledge include:
- Clinical / outcome epilepsy studies
- Real-time functional mapping
- Changes of cognitive functions in epilepsy with ERPs/ERFs
- Neuropsychopharmacological studies
- Brain Computer Interfacing (BCI)
- High-frequency oscillations (HFOs)
- Functional mapping with fMRI – language, memory, executive function, attention
- Epilepsy and psychiatric comorbidities
- New Research Opportunities
-
Functional Brain Mapping and Brain Computer Interface Lab offers a number of unique opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students to conduct research in the field of epilepsy research and its application to brain-computer interaction. Students will be trained in brain imaging techniques, work in clinical settings, and will be provided with opportunity to work on the scientific presentations and manuscripts.
- Equipment
-
Some of the equipment used at the lab includes:
- 128-channel g tech EEG amplifier
- Stimulus presentation software: Presentation, E-Prime, ANT eevoke
- Electromagnetic signal processing software: Curry, BESA, Persyst
- Imaging processing software: Brain Voyager, Analyze
