Douglas D. Garrett is leader of the Lifespan Neural Dynamics Group (LNDG) within the Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research, Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany. Research within the LNDG examines how and why the human brain fluctuates so markedly from moment to moment. Perhaps counterintuitively, we continue to find that healthy, better functioning brains are characterised by greater signal variability across broad brain regions, cognitive domains, and task types. We examine brain signal variability and dynamics in relation to six core research foci: lifespan development, cognition, neuromodulation, structural/functional connectivity, transcranial stimulation, and modelling/methods. Accordingly, we have an inherent multivariate focus that allows the examination of brain signal variability phenomena across multiple levels of analysis.
