Vladimir Litvak's research group utilizes a combination of non-invasive (MEG/EEG) and invasive recordings, including Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), to study epilepsy patients. The aim is to understand the function and dysfunction of oscillatory brain networks and to map brain anatomy. His research is focused on enhancing DBS treatment by identifying pathological brain activity and avoiding stimulation locations that could lead to side effects. Simultaneous invasive recordings are employed to validate MEG/EEG analysis methods, specifically in the analysis of functional effective connectivity. He has held various academic positions at University College London, including Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in the field of Imaging Neuroscience at the Institute of Neurology.
