Henrik Podéus Derelöv is a PhD student at Linköping University, focusing on the mathematical models that help to understand the origins of brain activity. His primary research interest is centered on modeling electrical communication between neurons and the phenomenon known as neurovascular coupling. Derelöv's work involves the use of mathematical modeling to delve into how brain activity, which originates from electrical communications among neurons, can be recorded through various measurement types, including electrophysiological techniques. This includes the analysis of Local Field Potentials (LFP), Electroencephalograms (EEG), and cell spiking rates. Furthermore, he engages with neurovascular measurements that assess downstream changes in cerebral vasculature related to electrical brain activity, examining factors such as cerebral blood flow (CBF) and blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signals. Derelöv aims to create a robust framework that establishes connections between electrophysiological and neurovascular measurements, addressing the complexities of the pathways involved in neurovascular coupling.
