Simon Finnigan has a track record in analysing the human brain’s
electrical and magnetic signals (primarily the electroencephalogram,
EEG); and applying such data to the monitoring of brain dysfunction and
prediction of clinical outcomes in stroke patients. Dr Finnigan has
authored papers reporting such investigations and is primary inventor
of a published international patent entitled “Method of
predicting functional outcome of a stroke using EEG measures”.
He has participated in various externally-funded projects in
collaboration with the pharmaceutical and neurotechnology industries as
well as researchers and clinicians from a variety of disciplines (e.g.,
neurology, neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, mathematics,
psychiatry). These projects also include multi-disciplinary studies of
healthy young or elderly persons, and individuals with dementia or
schizophrenia. In doing so, Dr Finnigan has supervised a number of
postgraduate students, research assistants and postdoctoral fellows.
