We aim to develop and validate therapeutic interventions that facilitate the recovery of arm and hand movements after stroke. Our research will better understand how we can prime the brain's capacity for motor learning through aerobic exercise and non-invasive brain stimulation. Our efforts are also directed at understanding how we can predict behaviour and thus personalize interventions.
We use techniques such as behavioural testing, neuroimaging (i.e. magnetic resonance imaging), and non-invasive brain stimulation (i.e. transcranial direct current stimulation). These approaches allow us to evaluate how the stroke has affected the brain’s capacity for recovery, to determine biomarkers that may predict recovery, and to elucidate the neural mechanisms that may underlie recovery.
