New postdoc will be investigating the principles of large-scale brain networks and rhythms in wakefulness and sleep.
01.02.2018 |
Angus Stevner obtained his bachelor’s degree in Medicine in 2013 from University of Copenhagen. For his bachelor’s thesis he worked on developing tools for source reconstruction of MEG data under the supervision of professor Morten Kringelbach in Oxford as well as at the Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) here in Aarhus. He went on to study for a DPhil (PhD) at Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, which he completed in 2017, again under the supervision of professor Kringelbach. During his doctoral work he investigated the role of large-scale brain networks in transitions between wakefulness and sleep, using neuroimaging data including magnetoencephalography, functional MRI, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
Angus continues to pursue his interests in how the brain’s large-scale network activity and rhythms support the wide range of behavioural and cognitive states we as humans experience. Sleep remains a primary topic, which is reflected in his close collaboration with MIB’s Kira Vibe Jespersen on developing a better understanding of the sleep disorder insomnia.
Angus has been affiliated to MIB throughout his DPhil, and after a brief stay as postdoctoral researcher at Department of Psychiatry in Oxford, he has now joined MIB for a 1-year postdoc.
