<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">The lab focuses on the mechanisms involved in cortical blindness, motor impairment as a result of lower cranial nerve injury, and chronic pain as a function
of inducing learning. Our studies focus on a variety of innovative approaches, including neurofeedback in targeted and individualized regions of interest based on the patient's location and spatial extent of the lesion, optimization of rt-fMRI nFb methods
with the long-term goal of central and peripheral nervous system injury neuro-rehabilitation, as well as using highly quantitative methods, such as population receptive field, multivariate and univariate analyses. The work promises to be challenging, but also
presents a highly exciting opportunity to gain an understanding of innovative neurofeedback methods applied in various patient populations depending on the domain of brain function lesioned, such as in visual, motor, and pain-matrix networks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default">The focus of our laboratory is three-fold: (i) elucidate the mechanisms that guide plasticity following insult to the brai<span style="color:windowtext">n, by</span> using structural, volumetric, diffusion tensor imaging and functional connectivity
measures; (ii) induce functional plasticity/reorganization of the brain by applying a targeted and individualized real-time fMRI neurofeedback method; (iii) develop optimization neurofeedback approaches via computational modelling.
