The Neuroimaging Laboratory conducts multimodality imaging work (e.g., high density EEG, MRI, fMRI, DTI) to understand the neuromechanisms underlying movement disorders following injury to the nervous system. The goal of this research is to guide the development of new therapeutic interventions, informed by our increased understanding of these neuromechanisms and ultimately help individuals with different impairments to gain improved motor function. The laboratory has done pioneering work in explaining the motor impairments following stroke and is now applying similar methods in children with hemiparesis. Work in the laboratory is supported by funding from NIH, NIDRR and AHA.
