Plamen Ivanov

Prof. Ivanov’s research interests include: Physiological and neural control of cardiac, locomotor, circadian, and sleep rhythms. Network physiology, particularly the interactions between integrated physiologic systems. Nonlinear dynamics and coupling, fractal and multifractal stochastic processes, stochastic feedback, and phase synchronization. Excitable media, particularly myocardial tissue. Phase transitions in physical and biological systems.

I am interested in theoretical problems at the interface of physics and biology. I want to understand how large-scale, collective behaviors observed in biological systems emerge from the interaction of many individual molecular elements, and how these interactions allow cells to perform complex computations in response to environmental cues. I started a blog that I […]

Research in my lab focuses on how the human brain supports critical cognitive and behavioral functions in our everyday life, such as spatial navigation and memory, and on the neural mechanisms that underlie age-related impairments in these functions. From a methodological perspective, we employ novel neurotechnologies and advanced methodologies such as deep brain recordings in […]
