Our areas of expertise include neuroinformatics, quantitative EEG diagnostics, advanced methods of EEG/MEG analysis and systemic psychophysiology. Currently our main research interest is in the area of consciousness studies. As a result of our studies we have formulated a framework of Operational Architectonics (OA) of Brain-Mind Functioning; which is based on the joint analysis of cognitive, phenomenological and electromagnetic data (EEG and MEG). According to OA every conscious phenomenon is brought to existence by the joint operations of many functional and transient neuronal assemblies in the brain (realized in the form of electromagnetic fields). Further, the functioning of the brain is always operational (made up of operations), and its structure is characterized by a nested hierarchy of operations of increasing complexity: from single neurons to synchronized neuronal assemblies and further to the operational modules of integrated neuronal assemblies.
