Matias Palva is a Professor in Magnetoencephalography at the University of Glasgow's School of Psychology & Neuroscience. His research focuses on systems neuroscience, particularly neural oscillations, brain connectivity, and cognitive processes. He leads a team investigating multi-scale brain network mechanisms, with projects funded by the Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust. Current roles: Magnetoencephalography Professor Institution: University of Glasgow Research interests include understanding how neuronal oscillations synchronize across brain regions to support functions like attention and memory. Key projects involve developing advanced MEG-TRIUX-neo neuroimaging techniques and studying predictive processing deficits in schizophrenia. Recent work highlights include discoveries about alpha-band mechanisms in attention (2024), cortical oscillation rhythmicity (2024), and genetic influences on synchronization (2022). Articles consistently explore neural synchrony dynamics and their behavioral correlates. Awards include grants totaling over £3M from MRC and Wellcome Trust. His lab collaborates internationally, with publications in high-impact journals like Neuron , Communications Biology , and NeuroImage .
