Our Lab explores innovative neural engineering techniques, including noninvasive brain stimulation, neural recording, and smart wearable sensors. These methods aim to improve motor recovery in individuals with stroke and traumatic brain injury.
Vikram Shenoy Handiru, PhD, directs the Neuromuscular and Electrophysiology Laboratory within Kessler Foundation's Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research. The Lab studies individualized and targeted noninvasive brain stimulation methods combined with sensor-based exergaming, exercise + gaming, to improve hand dexterity in stroke and traumatic brain injury populations. To study the underlying mechanisms of motor recovery in clinical populations, the team’s research involves acquiring neurophysiological and neuromuscular data using electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS).
