Future lab
Currently I am interested in pursuing these research directions:
Neural interfaces
Neural interfaces (brain computer interfaces and peripherical interfaces) to restore, rehabilitate motor functions and inform the neuroscience of sesnsorimotor control.
Research in the direction of developing bidirectional self-paced motor neural interfaces to restore lost function in neural injured states, such as stroke. Investigating multi-area neural interfaces to better understand the network underlying naturalistic motor behavior, using high-neuron count, high bandwidth neural interfaces.
Role of sleep in behavioral memory consolidation
This involves two different lines of investigation:
- Understanding sleep processing in motor networks underlying learning, consolidation, and pathological disturbances after neural disorder.
- Bidirectional sleep recording/modulation neural interface to improve behavioral outcomes or decoder performance.
Translational neuroengineering
Scalable translational neuroengineering - technology first approach of developing bioelectric solutions for less explored neuro/sleep disorders.
Focus on indetifying the gaps between current therapeutics and the needs of patients suffering from neuro/sleep disorders; and devlop simple, scalable, patient first solutions which can be translated to commercialized products outside the lab.
