Dr. Federico was recruited to the University of Calgary to establish an epilepsy imaging research program.

Dr. Federico’s research activities focus on functional and structural imaging in epilepsy. His imaging studies include the study of cortical and subcortical circuits underlying the generation of interictal discharges, functional MRI analysis of the pre-ictal state, language and motor reorganization in focal epilepsy, and seizure-related structural brain changes. He also has an interest in advanced EEG analytical techniques, including the study of high frequency oscillations in humans and animal models of epilepsy.
