Identification Of Metastable Cortical Neururoscience Case Study
Having completed my master degree (Physics) from National institute of technology, Trichy, India. I planned to do research in theoretical neuroscience. While I was doing my master's I attended a workshop on nonlinear dynamics conducted by Indian academy of science. Where I was introduced to the applications of nonlinear dynamics with neuroscience. Such as ‘nonlinear synaptic current and neural coupling’, ‘bifurcation in population wide oscillations’ and ‘nonlinear dynamics of epilepsy’. Then I started to read articles in neuroscience including ‘Theory and simulation in neuroscience’. And I understood the importance and necessity of neuroscience research. My master's project was on modeling uncertainty in reaction rate using Bayesian inference.

This project may involve identification of brain activity state and designing metastable states. Often the metastable state is written as a variable of neural and synaptic parameters. Decision making and memory is also explained using metastability of brain state. There are a number of parameters that involves with the metastability of brain such as dopamine release into the synapse. By studying the dynamics of metastable state, a better understanding of cognition and decision making can be …show more content…
The project is successfully completed within a short six month period and presented at international conferences. I started this project with no knowledge or background in neuroscience. But through this work I have proven that, I am capable of continuing the research in neuroscience. Essentially both my master’s project and neuroscience project were interdisciplinary in nature. An interdisciplinary project demands knowledge and skill in numerous subjects. The success of these projects gave me courage as well as confidence to choose an interdisciplinary subject as my PhD project.
With my interest in neural dynamics and background in statistical mechanics and nonlinear dynamics meets with the demands of this PhD project. And I will be a best catch for this project. I am sure that I can do this project with same enthusiasm and hard
