Berj L. Bardakjian

Berj L. Bardakjian is a Professor in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering (Biomedical Engineering Group) from McMaster University. His research interests include neural engineering, biological and artificial neural networks, electrical rhythmic activities of the brain, prediction and control of epileptic seizures, modeling of nonlinear physiological systems, biological clocks, and signal processing of nonstationary electrical signals from the brain. He is also an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering. His previous positions at the University of Toronto included being a Medical Research Council (MRC) postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Physiology, an MRC Scholar in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, and an investigator in the Playfair Neuroscience Unit at the Toronto Western Hospital.

Berj Bardakjian is a researcher in biomedical engineering with a focus on neural engineering, neuromodulation, and brain electrical rhythms. His work explores the mechanisms of electrical activity in the brain and gastrointestinal systems, including the study of colonic electrical control activity and seizure propagation. Bardakjian has published extensively on topics such as high-frequency oscillations, cross-frequency coupling, and the use of computational models to understand neural and gastrointestinal electrical dynamics. His research also addresses the classification of seizure states and the development of advanced neural recording technologies for in vitro and in vivo applications.
