Dear Bruno, Thanks for your interest in our project. Actually this should be a project open to the public, as it has been fully funded with public funds ( Fundació La Marató de TV3, ref. 112710, and Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, ref. PSI2013-44760-R). Therefore, from now on, I will do my best to keep this web site updated with the project's Methods, and any new updates on the ongoing publications.

Actually we encountered many problems accessing the clinical sample of frontal patients at hospitals in Mallorca. Fortunately enough, last year we managed to start a collaborative agreement with John Duncan at the MRC CBSU in Cambridge, where my collaborators Dr. Stephanie Enriquez-Geppert (now at the University of Groningen), my PhD student Marcelina Chamielec, and Patrick Cooper (PhD candidate at University of Newcastle, Australia) managed to run a total of 17 frontal patients, 11 temporo-parietal patients, and over 20 age-matched healthy controls during a research visit at the CBSU last year. This was a truly great achievement that was only possible thanks to the support of MRC staff, and particularly, of Dr. Sharon Erzinclioglu scientist in charge of the panel of neurological patients at Addenbrooke's hospital, Cambridge. Hopefully we'll be able to see the fruits of this unique frontal patient study in the coming years.

Herewith I enclose the Methods section of my original research proposal, the one that was funded by the Fundació La Marató TV3 in 2012, and also an update of the Methods of this frontal patient EEG study, as it was presented to the MRC Imagers Interest Group when we started the study in January 2016. 

Again, thanks for your interest in our project. 

Yours,

Paco

Thanks Francisco,

this is definitely one of the most sophisticated projects on frontal lobe functions I am aware of. As you know, we share the vision of the possibility of a neurophysiological assessment of those still mysterious psychological disorders, which occur as a consequence of frontal lobe lesions.

Best Bruno
