Team Members: Benyamin A. Haghi, Sahil Shah, Spencer Kellis from Richard Andersen’s lab. In the United States, there are about 17,700 new cases per year of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). SCI results in a partial or total loss of motor function. Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) have the potential to increase independence and improve quality of life […]
Team Members: Taige Wang, Maha Shoaran, Benyamin A. Haghi Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s, with a growing patient population of over 6 million globally. PD mainly affects the motor system, resulting in movement impairments such as muscle rigidity, resting tremor and akinesia. In the early stage, levodopa medication […]
Team Members: Mahsa Shoaran, Benyamin A. Haghi, Milad Taghavi, Masoud Farivar Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting over 50 million people in the world. Approximately one third of epileptic patients exhibit seizures that are not controlled by medication. Despite substantial innovations in anti-seizure drug therapy, the proportion of patients with uncontrolled epilepsy has not […]
