About Me

Dr. Harilal holds Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from Amrita University, where he studied neuronal excitability in granular layer ensembles of the cerebellum by modeling local field potential (LFP). He worked as Project Associate at Neurophysiology and Simulation Virtual Lab project, National Mission on Education through ICT, funded by Ministry for Human Resource Development, Govt. of India. His post-doctoral study was on “Quantification of epileptogenic network from Stereo EEG recordings using Epileptogenicity Ranking method”. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor and in-charge of the Brain Mapping research lab associated with Amrita Advanced Center for Epilepsy and the Department of Neurology.
