Overview

Raman Sankar is affiliated with the University of California, Los Angeles in the United States. Their research spans primarily the fields of Medicine and Neuroscience, with a substantial focus on Psychiatry and Mental Health, Cognitive Neuroscience, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Molecular Biology.

The main topics covered in their work include:

  • Epilepsy research and treatment
  • EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces
  • Pharmacological Effects and Toxicity Studies
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Gut microbiota and health
  • Neural dynamics and brain function

Sankar's recent publications reflect a focus on complex neurological phenomena and applications of deep learning in neuroscientific research. Selected recent papers include:

  • "Scalp EEG interictal high frequency oscillations as an objective biomarker of infantile spasms," 2020, Clinical Neurophysiology
  • "Refining epileptogenic high-frequency oscillations using deep learning: a reverse engineering approach," 2021, Brain Communications
  • "Disruption of intestinal barrier and endotoxemia after traumatic brain injury: Implications for post-traumatic epilepsy," 2021, Epilepsia
  • "Characterizing physiological high-frequency oscillations using deep learning," 2022, Journal of Neural Engineering
  • "Interictal scalp fast ripple occurrence and high frequency oscillation slow wave coupling in epileptic spasms," 2020, Clinical Neurophysiology

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Sankar include Shaun A. Hussain, Hiroki Nariai, Richard J. Staba, Aria Fallah, and William Speier. This network suggests active collaboration in their research community on epilepsy and related neurological conditions.

Among publication venues where Sankar has contributed most frequently are:

  • Epilepsia
  • Epilepsia Open
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Clinical Neurophysiology
  • Epilepsy & Behavior

The scientist's multidisciplinary approach integrates neurophysiological data analysis, advanced computational methods such as deep learning, and studies of pathophysiological mechanisms in epilepsy and brain injury contexts. This is reflected in the combination of clinical neurophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, and molecular biology fields represented in their work.
