Zack Murphy
Biomedical Engineering PhD student specializing in cognitive neuroscience research using EEG at Mississippi State University
Research at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, EEG, and Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation
I am a Biomedical Engineering PhD student at Mississippi State University working to standardize Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation (FPVS) for use across cognitive neuroscience domains. My work focuses on end-to-end software for designing FPVS experiments and processing EEG data, with workflows built for non-experts, reproducible analysis, and reuse by other scientists and engineers.
Current focus
- Standardizing FPVS experiment and analysis workflows
- FPVS Toolbox
- FPVS Studio
- EEG applications in cognitive neuroscience
