My research focuses on the development and clinical assessment of neural interfaces and stimulation approaches to restore and enhance somatosensory function.<\/p>\n

The primary goal of my research program is to develop and implement technology to restore and enhance somatosensory function for people with sensory impairments due to limb amputation or spinal cord injury. My research focuses on somatosensation in the hand and arm, including touch, proprioception, affective (social) touch, and pain. My studies aim to better understand the perception, processing, integration, and learning of sensation. We also examine the functional and psychological impacts of sensory neuroprostheses and other types of neurotechnology. My lab conducts clinical studies involving neural stimulation, neurophysiological recording, computational modeling, psychometrics, behavioral assessments, and qualitative analyses. I have received funding from the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for my research projects.<\/p>\n
