Over the past few years, my work has mainly focused on developing deep learning architectures, signal processing, and software engineering. However, I’ve always stayed connected to neuroscience through both research and hands-on work. I first applied my signal processing skills to EEG data in 2019, studying the effects of 40 Hz flickering light on both healthy individuals and those with Alzheimer’s. More recently, I conducted a study at Syntropic Medical to examine these effects over a longer time scale and at 60 Hz frequency. It was a nice experience, and it was cool to return to EEG recording sessions and signal processing after 4 years. We found that exposure to 60 Hz light induces strong and widespread entrainment in healthy human brain, and different brain regions get synchronized at this frequency. Also, over course of 3 weeks, the power of entrainment and level of synchrony decreases (Most likely due to plasticity), so it’s very likely that 60 Hz flickering light induces plasticity in the brain which is super cool.
