Project Summary: The therapeutic effects of patterned electrical stimulation on several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's (Benabid et al. 1987) and certain forms of inner ear deafness (Dodson and Mohuiddin 2000; Hartshorn et al. 1991...
Project Summary: My involvement in Dr. Courtine's lab was two-fold. I worked under the mentorship of Ms. Lucia Friedli and Ms. Janine Heutschi, two of Dr. Courtine's PhD students, who developed a rodent model for a multi-system rehabilitation strategy to...
Project Summary: The aim of my project was to determine whether human observers can learn to optimally integrate arbitrary visual and vestibular inputs when perceiving own whole-body rotations. We tested whether subjects learn to integrate whole-body yaw...
Project Summary: Professor Brown’s group seeks to unravel one of medicine’s big questions: how anaesthesia works. Several statistical methods and non-invasive techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging magnetoencephalography (MEG) and...
Project Summary: The focus of this project is to study the use of pulsed laser light to stimulate the central auditory system. This novel approach may be a means to improve the efficacy of the current generation of electrically based Auditory Brainstem...
Project Summary: Current robotic neurorehabilitation strategies for motor skills in stroke patients showed large variability in their outcome. Some patients show very promising improvement in their motor skills whereas others show no improvement at all...
Project Summary: When planning a movement towards a visual target, the sensorimotor nervous system is engaged to estimate the spatial location of the target and correspondingly perform the motor output to reach it. Movements can be planned in two major...
