-
Targeted brain mapping and magnetic stimulation to speed up actions
This project will test whether using EEG and fNIRS to guide targeted magnetic brain stimulation (TMS/iTBS) can speed up action in healthy adults and in people who had a hemispheric stroke that spared key prefrontal areas.
-
Hand gestures to support expression for autistic and language‑impaired people in rural areas
This research tests whether gestures adapted from American Sign Language help people with autism, developmental language disorders, or related conditions in rural communities understand and communicate words better.
-
Examining brain activity during complex walking in people with atypical Parkinsonian syndromes
This study looks at how brain activity changes when people with atypical Parkinsonian syndromes, like PSP and MSA, try to walk in different ways to help improve their independence.
-
Analyzing how young brains perceive rhythm from premature neonates to infants
This study is testing how well premature babies can hear and understand rhythm to learn more about their brain development.
