Research Projects

Our lab is dedicated to the understanding of the neural control of human movement in both health and disease. We specifically explore the contributions of motor sub-systems, using techniques such as EEG/EMG and other electrophysiological measures to study neuro-motor activity. The focus extends to investigating diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers not only in Motor Neuron Diseases (MND) like Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but also in conditions such as multiple sclerosis, aiming to contribute valuable insights to the field. Additionally, the lab is actively involved in neural engineering, seeking innovative approaches to enhance our comprehension of neural control.
