André Achim

André Achim studies brain activity associated with cognitive processes and especially EEG, event-related potentials (ERPs), and functional neuroimaging. His current work involves primarily the development of signal analysis techniques (detection of differences, source modeling), the investigation of attention processes and attention deficits and the study of sensory systems (audition, vision).
