Enroll as a Healthy Volunteer
Individuals who do not have one of the conditions we study can still help by volunteering as control subjects. Control participants allow us to evaluate the effects of an intervention in the general population.
A Systematized Approach to Improve Memory in Older Adults
This study investigates the effectiveness of a memory enhancement technique in adults 60 years and older.
Using Brain Electrical Stimulation to Improve Fatigue and Weakness After Breast Cancer
This study examines how brain stimulation can help improve performance in tasks that normally cause fatigue or weakness in women who have had breast cancer. This study is also enrolling healthy female volunteers who have not had breast cancer for the control group.
Gaze in Neglect Dyslexia
Neglect dyslexia, a reading impairment associated with post-stroke spatial neglect, presents a major barrier to regaining functional independence in activities of daily living, work, and leisure.
Examining Cognitive and Physical Fatigue in Traumatic Brain Injury
This study examines brain and behavioral changes during thinking and physical tasks in individuals with TBI. Participants perform exercise tests using an exercise bike, receive two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and complete tests of thinking skills and questionnaires.
Social Communication Skills in the Workplace in Young Adults
Evaluates social communication skills in employment settings in young adults. Some of the young adults who will participate in this study have received special education services (for a diagnosis such as autism) in the past.
The Effects of Effort on Fatigue and Brain Activity in TBI
This study examines how patterns of brain activity relate to cognitive fatigue, which is a feeling of exhaustion and inability to perform thinking-related activities.
Using fMRI to Study Cognitive Fatigue in MS (with Zeposia®)
Study investigates the effect of disease-modifying medications, specifically Zeposia®, on cognitive fatigue in multiple sclerosis. Cognitive fatigue is the kind of fatigue that occurs after intense mental concentration, such as after a session of problem-solving.
Using fMRI to Study Cognitive Fatigue in MS (with Ocrevus®)
Study investigates the effect of disease-modifying medications, specifically Ocrevus® on cognitive fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS). Cognitive fatigue is the kind of fatigue that occurs after intense mental concentration, such as after a session of problem-solving.
Rehab of Stroke Reading Deficits Using fMRI Neurofeedback
The purpose of this study is to investigate how reading can be improved after a left-brain stroke. The findings of this study may help to develop new methods for diagnosis and treatment of reading problems after stroke.
A Strength-Based Intervention to Improve Job Interview Skills in Young Adults with Autism (KF-STRIDE®)
Researchers are evaluating how effective a strength-based intervention is in improving job interview skills in young adults with autism who may have difficulty with job interviews or want to improve these skills.
Identification of New Biomarkers for Determining Risk of Lower Extremity Fracture during Exoskeleton-assisted Ambulation
The purpose of this study is to determine the forces on the hips, knees, and ankle joints while participating in exoskeleton-assisted sit-to-stand training protocol as well as exoskeleton-assisted walking (EAW) in the ReWalk, Indego, and Ekso devices.
Feedback and Learning in Individuals with Clinical Depression and TBI
The purpose of this research study is to examine the influence of 'feedback timing' (feedback about your performance is either presented immediately or after a delay) on learning and brain function in individuals with moderate to severe TBI with or without depression.
Biomarker for Cognitive Fatigue in MS Using fMRI
Investigates the effectiveness of Tysabri (Natalizumab) on cognitive fatigue in people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Cognitive fatigue is the kind of fatigue that occurs after intense mental concentration, such as after a session of problem-solving.
Strength Identification and Expression in Young Adults
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate how young adults with and without autism identify and express their personal identities.

Ultrasound-guided Procedures in the Treatment of Meniscal Tears
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of two different treatments, micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) and saline injection, for the treatment of meniscal tears. Participants are randomly assigned to one of these two treatment groups.
Improving Postural Responses to Avoid Falls after TBI
The purpose of this study is to assess a balance training program to see if it can be helpful in avoiding falls in people with TBI.
Upper Extremity/Treadmill/Exoskeleton Training and Spinal Cord Stimulation in SCI
The purpose of this research is to examine the effectiveness of back or spine stimulation while walking on a treadmill or walking over ground using an exoskeleton or on muscle activation while sitting on a chair.
Improving SCI Rehab Interventions by Retraining the Brain in SCI Participants
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether combining training of the affected upper limbs in patients with SCI with a noninvasive technique of brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve training outcomes.
Cortical Control of Walking: Brain Plasticity Following Exoskeleton Training in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury (iSCI)
In this pilot study, we want to study the neural mechanism of walking in able-bodied subjects and iSCI subjects who have some control of muscles below the level of injury (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) D). |
