Anastasia Ilina
Anastasia is a Research Assistant at the ISN Lab, focusing on AI and data science approaches for the analysis of neurophysiological and behavioural data. In particular, her work is focused on developing advanced deep learning and machine learning models, as well as statistical and dynamical systems approaches, for analysing EEG data to understand the transition between sleep and wakefulness and to predict such transitions. Previously, Anastasia completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and an MSc in Translational Neuroscience, both at Imperial College London. She conducted research jointly at the ISN Lab and Dr Pedro Mediano's lab in the Department of Computing. She also completed a BSc in Neuroscience at University College London. As a part of her BSc research project, she worked at Michael Hausser's Neural Computation Lab, where she assessed the hierarchical organisation of visual information processing in mice using an all-optical approach.
