Our lab is dedicated to advancing personalized neurorehabilitation through the integration of neuroscience, bioengineering, and clinical care. Collaborating between the University of Illinois and Carle Health, JNERL aims to develop innovative solutions for neurorehabilitation, leveraging cutting-edge techniques in medical imaging, electrophysiology, and brain-computer interface systems to improve outcomes for patients with neurological conditions.
Current research projects include:
- Investigating maladaptive hemispheric shifts in sensory processing and their role in abnormal motor control following stroke.
- Developing multi-modal brain imaging and high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) techniques for individualized, closed-loop rehabilitation.
- Targeting cortico-reticulospinal hyperexcitability to reduce upper limb flexion synergy and enhance motor system recovery.
- Using nonlinear neural connectivity as a sensitive biomarker to track the recruitment of indirect motor pathways and guide rehabilitation strategies.
Our principle Investigator is Yuan Yang.
