<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Modern methods to observe brain activity have dramatically improved our understanding of neuronal computations. However, with its 100 Billion neurons, each connected with thousands of other units, the brain is still quite
resistant to decryption and therefore, we are far from a unified theory of brain functioning. I will introduce recording and stimulation techniques to approach neuronal activity, outline recent advances in the development of communication between brain machine
interfaces and the influence on neuronal processing. Finally, I will present some ongoing projects of our lab in these directions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
