Talks and teaching

(some since 2022)

MNE-python tutorial & spectral analysis

October 28, 2025

tutorial @ PracticalMEEG 2025, Aix-en-Provence, France

The CuttingEEG team again organized the PracticalMEEG workshop, where participants can learn hands-on about M/EEG data analysis for 4 diffferent toolboxes. I gave the lecture on spectral & time-frequency analysis & co-taught the MNE-python tutorial together with Marijn van Vliet and an incredible set of helpers!

How (not) to analyze an LFP/EEG oscillation

September 29, 2025

talk @ Bernstein Conference Satellite Workshop, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Mattia Chini & Irina Pochinok organized a beautiful workshop with the title "Same words, different worlds: Conceptual consistency in systems neuroscience" where I talked a bit about muddy concepts around LFP/EEG oscillations.

Berger’s rhythm and the harmonic hurdles

October 23, 2024

talk @ Annual Meeting, Society for Psychophysiological Research, Prague, Czech Republic

Presented historical snippets of time domain and spectral analysis and their link to waveshape phenomena.
Other symposium speakers were supernice, all the talks in our symposium:
  • Cliodhna Quigley: Forgotten Rhythms – Learning From the Past
  • Natalie Schaworonkow: Berger's Rhythm and the Harmonic Hurdles
  • Fabian Schmidt: The Role of Alpha Bursts in Supra-Sensory Perception
  • Alice Tomassini: The (Visuo)Motor Side of the Berger's Rhythm – Linking Perception to Action
  • Tzvetan Popov: Waves Beyond Waveforms

Differentiating genuine beta bursts from mu-rhythm harmonics

March 09, 2024

talk @ Congress für clinical neuroscience, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Presented in a symposium dedicated to phase of oscillations that I co-organized together with Prof. Christoph Zrenner from the university of Toronto.
we had a cool program:
  • Paolo Belardinelli: Localising alpha and beta oscillations in the EEG to their cortical source
  • Catharina Zich: Spatiotemporal organisation of human sensorimotor beta burst activity
  • Natalie Schaworonkow: Differentiating genuine beta bursts from mu-rhythm harmonics
  • Anirudh Wodeyar: State space models for estimating phase
  • Christoph Zrenner: Does the phase of sensorimotor beta oscillations predict corticospinal excitability?

Spatial Filters, Advanced EEG methods seminar

December 15, 2022

Tutorial @ Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium

Introduction into volume conduction in EEG and spatial filters, some PCA but mostly generalized eigenvalue decomposition. :)

Data-driven iEEG referencing

June 02, 2022

talk @ Department of Neurology and Brain Imaging Center Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Presented a methodological introduction into data-driven spatial filtering/referencing for iEEG data.

Older random fun talks

January 01, 2022

Talks @ various places, somewhere

How to deal with overwhelming amount of information & how to manage projects.
Telling the early history of EEG, between self-doubt and the joy of discovery. :)
