1. What is your favorite part about neuromodulation work?
The use of cutting-edge technology to help people with neurologic conditions improve their daily lives.
2. What is your favorite kind of neuromodulation technique and/or equipment and why?
Paired associative stimulation (PAS) - because we can leverage the brain's natural adaptive capacity through physiologic principles of neuroplasticity (i.e. neurons that "fire together wire together") to pair with rehabilitation and modulate sensorimotor behaviors
3. What kind of conditions do you treat with neuromodulation?
Brain aging, stroke
4. What is your favorite part of the brain and why?
More recently my "favorite" part of the brain is the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), because of its likely role in error detection in the context of balance and gait. Recently the ACC has been implicated in brain resilience with brain aging.
