Scope of work:

We combine a unique methodology of recording the activity of single neurons in humans with advanced analytical approaches, such as machine learning and multidimensional analyses, to better understand the neural foundations of the human cognitive system, especially Working Memory.

We are the first lab in Poland to record the activity of single neurons in humans. Our work was recently published in Nature Human Behaviour https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-025-02235-0, which makes us  very strong lab in this field in Europe.

We are looking for great postdocs to work with us doing human intracranial recordings and to make impact on science.

 In the project „The role of the Medial Temporal Lobe in Working Memory Maintenance: A Human Single-Neuron Study” our group investigates the neuronal mechanisms of working memory at the single-neuron level and aims to translate these findings into network-level understanding. 

• • We take advantage of rare opportunities to record neuronal activity directly in humans during the clinical implantation of devices for intracranial monitoring of drug-resistant epilepsy.
• • Specifically, we focus on Medial Temporal Lobe with structures  like hippocampus and amygdala, which are crucial to working memory and are main localisation of seizures in epilepsy.
• • By combining single-neuron recordings with electrical stimulation and advanced computational approaches, we seek to build a comprehensive framework of the neuronal architecture underlying working memory.

This knowledge will not only deepen our understanding of the neural code of cognition but also inspire novel strategies for the treatment of psychiatric disorders characterized by working memory deficits.

The research tasks will include:

• • Planning and conducting experimental work (research conducted during epilepsy monitoring).
• • Data analysis (analysis of electrophysiological signal including single-unit sorting).
• • Manuscript preparation.
• • Supervision of PhD students.
