The description of brain circuits established du ring specific tasks (or at rest) can provide important insights into the n eural mechanisms at the basis of motor and cognitive functions\, their reo rganization resulting from different pathological conditions and their rec overy\, whether spontaneous or due to a specific treatment (brain plastici ty). Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive\, low-cost\, portable technique for the investigation of brain activity that provides the time r esolution (milliseconds) necessary to follow the brain dynamics and to per form an effective estimation of brain functional connectivity. In this sem inar\, the methods at the basis of the estimation of brain connectivity in the time\, frequency and time-frequency domains will be introduced\, toge ther with the most recent advancements in this field. The lecture will dis cuss the advantages of performing the analysis in the EEG source space\, a nd how a graph theory approach can be adopted to summarize and quantify br ain networks properties. The importance and role of the statistical assess ment of connectivity patterns will be also illustrated. Finally\, some app lications will be shown\, ranging from the study of cortical reorganizatio n following motor or cognitive rehabilitation to the description of social cognitive functions (empathy\, cooperation\, individualistic behavior). T o this last purpose\, the novel technique of Hyperscanning\, or simultaneo us multi-subject EEG recordings\, will be introduced. In conclusion\, futu re directions of these studies and possible interactions with other fields of research will be critically discussed. Bio SketchLaura Astolfi receive d her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Bologna in 2007 .
