Alexei Ossadtchi is a leading Russian scientist in the field of Neuroimaging. He is currently a Professor and Director of the Center for Bioelectric Interfaces at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. Dr. Ossadtchi holds a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California (2003), where he developed approaches for automatic identification of epileptogenic regions in multi-focal epilepsy. These methods are being applied to non-invasively collected magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data for improved diagnostic accuracy of patients with epilepsy. Dr. Ossadtchi continued this research in Russia and developed efficient solutions to the interpretation of MEG and electroencephalography (EEG) based neuroimaging in the clinical context. His recent developments include algorithmic techniques for solving the EEG and MEG inverse problem on the group level, novel robust analytical solutions improving the spatial resolution of MEG based neuroimaging, and providing access to the detection of functional coupling of neuronal sources. He is also the key inventor of BASEX, a now classical Abel-transform method widely used for solving the inverse problem in photo-ion and photo-electron imaging.  Dr. Ossadtchi authored more than thirty publications in high-impact international journals specialized in methods for functional neuroimaging and their real-time applications, such as BCIs and neurofeedback. In addition to academic background, Dr. Ossadtchi has extensive business experience. He was a Senior Scientist for twelve years at Source Signal Imaging Inc., San Diego, CA, where he developed the EMSE Software Suite, a versatile data analysis tool for multimodal neuroimaging.
