Narayan Subramaniyam, Ph.D.

Research Affiliate

Narayan’s focus at Sapien Labs is on developing novel analytical approaches to the EEG signal. He is also the primary author of the popular EEG methods articles on Lab Talk.

Narayan has a longstanding interest in complex systems, statistical signal processing, computational modeling and nonlinear time series analysis, with applications to functional neuroimaging data (EEG, MEG), including brain connectivity estimation. He has previously worked on quantifying structural properties of EEG data based on complex networks and nonlinear dynamics, with applications to derive EEG-based biomarkers for epilepsy.

Prior to his scientific study he worked as a software engineer at MindTree, India on end-to-end SAP implementations for businesses. His other interests include pedagogical tools for teachers in higher education.

Narayan has an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Tampere University of Technology, Finland and a B.E. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the BMS College of Engineering in Bangalore, India. He is also presently a researcher at Tampere University of Technology, Finland.

I am passionate about solving problems at the intersection of mathematics and neuroscience. At Sapien labs, I get the amazing opportunity to challenge and test the fundamental assumptions made when applying mathematical methods to analyze and interpret EEG data.
