Action, gait, and cognition in movement disorders

We study circuit mechanisms of action and cognition in healthy people and people with Movement Disorders to understand neural mechanisms and identify biomarkers that can guide the development of novel and personalized treatments. We believe that explaining the neural underpinnings of disease heterogeneity will be integral to advancing therapies. We combine detailed behavioral and kinematic measurements with neural recordings (fMRI, EEG, and intraoperative electrophysiology) and neuromodulation (DBS, TMS) techniques.
