What this research studies
Many people are affected by neurological and psychiatric disorders, which can be very costly. While adaptive neuromodulation shows promise for conditions like stroke by helping the nervous system heal, the current technologies are often difficult to use or not widely available. This project will develop and share an easy-to-use system of technology and protocols specifically designed for human use. The goal is to make it simpler for researchers to develop and improve new adaptive treatments for these challenging conditions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Patients with neurological disorders such as stroke, or various psychiatric conditions, who might benefit from advanced neuromodulation therapies, are the ultimate focus of this research.
Not a fit: Patients whose conditions are not related to neurological or psychiatric disorders, or who are not candidates for neuromodulation, may not directly benefit from this specific research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to more effective and accessible adaptive neuromodulation treatments for a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown encouraging evidence that adaptive neuromodulation can lead to lasting improvements in certain neurological disorders, suggesting a foundation for this work.
