Ewa Beldzik, PhD

For the past eight years, I have been gaining experience in the field of neuroscience while studying and working at the Jagiellonian University. So far, I have taken part in five research projects concerning either or both human EEG and fMRI data. Meanwhile, I have participated in several short-term scholars (Medical College of Wisconsin, University of Amsterdam, Otto von Guericke Universität Magdeburg) and workshops (EEGLab, BESA, “Analyzing neural time series data”, “Linear algebra for neuroscientists”). In February 2015, I have defended my PhD thesis concerning the application of Independent Component Analysis to EEG and fMRI data in separating distinct neural processes. Currently, I am a principal investigator in my own research project (NCN, SONATA 11), which aims at exploring the nature of the medial frontal cortex activity in conflict tasks using simultaneous EEG-fMRI technique.

I am mainly interested in cognitive neuroscience – the neural underpinnings of attention, cognitive control, numerical cognition, and decision-making. I wish to understand the role of neural oscillatory activity and explore brain networks that are involved in these processes. Beside these, I am interested in ergonomical aspects, which affects human cognitive functioning, such as sleep and circadian rhythmicity.
