As a part of his PhD, our colleague Roberto Rodriguez has started a research visit in UCD’s Neuromuscular Systems Lab, headed by Professor Madeleine Lowery. This research group is focused on the study of the human nervous system as it relates to movement, in health and disease.

During the 3-4 months of the reasearch visit, Roberto will be working in the study of closed-loop Deep Brain Stimulation devices from an electronic systems engineer perspective. The main goal is to find out novel approaches to solve current issues related to closed-loop DBS electronic devices.

We hope we could take advantage of this research visit to find synergies between B105 and UCD Neuromuscular Systems Lab!
