With a background in physics, I am interested in the dynamics of neural activity related to brain stimulation and central motor control. Using experimental and computational approaches, my lab investigates the basic mechanisms of electric brain stimulation. We also study the application of these methods for the modulation of functional connectivity in health and disease, including Parkinson's disease and stroke.
