We are investigating the neural mechanisms underlying movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease and dystonia. By combining MEG and local field potential recordings, we study how deep brain stimulation impacts brain networks. Our research aims to uncover the changes in brain connectivity and oscillatory patterns induced by DBS, ultimately leading to improved therapeutic strategies and better patient outcomes.

We are using MEG to investigate speech decoding in normal healthy controls as well as patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). By decoding neural signals associated with speech, we aim to develop assistive communication technologies that can significantly enhance the quality of life for ALS patients who have lost their ability to speak.
