We regularly use a number of analytic tools for computational neurosciences in our research, including brain network analysis and neural simulations. These codes are open source software tools in Pyth on and can be found on the lab's GitHub account. All routines require NumPy, S ciPy and Matplotlib...

Postdoctoral Fellows We have open positions for postdoctoral fellows who may work on one or more of the following projects. Dystonia (I) Abnormal causal relationships within large-scale neural networks in dystonia (graph theory, effective, functional and structural connectivity analysis).(II)...

We have new studies currently recruiting participants! Please see the information below and join us to help move the understanding of dystonia forward! NOW RECRUITING: Brain-Computer Interfaces for the Treatment of Laryngeal Dystonia Patients with laryngeal dystonia (spasmodic dysphonia) We are...

Dystonia is a movement disorder of yet unknown causes and pathophysiology. It is characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements, postures, or both. Focal dystonias are the most common forms of dystonia and can affect different muscle...

Our research focus is two-fold: identification of the central mechanisms responsible for speech production and elucidation of the pathophysiology of neurological voice and speech disorders. Read more about our research program and learn how you can participate in one of our ongoing studies.

As a long-standing research direction, we continue our studies on normal motor control during complex learned behaviors, such as speech production. We use multi-modal neuroimaging and neural modeling in order to elucidate the organization of functional and structural brain networks underlying the...
