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.

Establishing a Clearer Measure of Mental Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis

This study examines mental fatigue that is regularly experienced by people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will examine levels of mental fatigue by looking at brain activation during an MRI scan and analyzing self-reported mental fatigue provided during study participation.

Quantification of Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue or Body Fat

Micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) or body fat is used to treat a variety of medical conditions including those that cause pain in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Changes in the Brain Associated with Character Identification

This study investigates changes in the brain that occur when people reflect on their own positive personality traits. Researchers use MRI to evaluate changes in the brain (no injections or contrast dyes are used).

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 traumatic brain injury. Participants perform exercise tests using an exercise bike, receive two MRI scans, and complete tests of thinking skills and questionnaires.

Workplace Social Communication Skills for Young Adults

Study evaluates workplace social communication skills in young adults. Some participants have a history of special education services for a diagnosis like autism.

This study is fully remote and does not require any in-person visits.

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 Ocrevus®)

Study investigates the effect of disease-modifying medications, specifically Ocrevus® 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.

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.

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.

More Information

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).
