I’m happy to announce that our team is starting a new NIH-funded project investigating new methods for enhancing stroke rehabilitation outcomes. The project will be making use of the CorTec Brain Interchange system (more info here) to deliver stimulation to aid in functional recovery. I will be leading the engineering efforts by design and developing the integrated research system we will use in this protocol alongside my ECE PhD student Hanbin Cho. More information about the project has been posted on the UW Department of Neurological Surgery website.

In a new collaboration with Simon Little (UCSF) and Jack Gallant (UC Berkeley), we will be developing a system to integrate brain signal recordings, perform automatic video analysis, collect data from wearable sensors, and generate patient symptom reports for at-home deployment to remotely optimize embedded adaptive DBS systems. This project is supported by the Weill Neurohub Investigator Program.
