Our Goals
Our goal is to bring together clinical neurology, computational neuroscience, and neural engineering to find new ways to enhance brain health. Interests of our researchers are neurodegenerative disorders that strike at the functional relationships between balance, vision, movement, and perception.
In the end, we will develop innovative brain modulation techniques, such as deep brain stimulation or focused ultrasound, and rehabilitation methods to revolutionize movement coordination, perception, fall prevention, quality of life, and longevity. This overarching goal is accomplished by an interdisciplinary team of lab members: engineers, physiologists, and clinicians. Get to know our team.
We are committed to fostering a multidisciplinary environment that drives cutting-edge discoveries. Our ongoing efforts supporting such a mission aim for sustained excellence in education and innovation. We believe that a diverse and multidisciplinary background encompassing students, staff, faculty, and broader stakeholders, is crucial for achieving excellence in education and research.
