Our laboratory is dedicated to the study of the mechanisms of action and clinical effects of neuromodulatory approaches for the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases such as stroke, chronic pain and epilepsy. We work with several collaborators at other departments of Harvard University as well as collaborators outside Harvard University.  If you have any questions, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

In addition, we have a link in the main menu at the top of the website, entitled "Volunteer for Studies" for those interested in volunteering for research. This form also contains links to our studies listed on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Project - Anticonvulsive and antiepileptic properties of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in an animal seizure model (the goal of this project is to use an animal model of epilepsy to investigate the antiepileptic effects of cortical DC stimulation and its mechanisms of action)

Project – development of a closed-loop, detect-and-treat system with tDCS and EEG for the treatment of epilepsy

Project - The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with arm training using ARMEO robotic device on motor recovery in traumatic brain injury survivors

Project: Effects of electrical stimulation of the nervous system on EEG activity in healthy subjects – comparison of different techniques of noninvasive brain stimulation using EEG as a surrogate of brain activity changes

Project: Effects of transcranial DC stimulation coupled with constraint-induced therapy on motor function in stroke patients

Project: Selective modulation of cognitive, affective and motor function by transcranial direct current stimulation as co-adjuvant therapy in Parkinson’s disease

Project:  Investigating motor cortex processing for pain modulation

Project: Investigation of the effects of tDCS and transcranial ultrasound  (TUS) on chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee

Project: Effects of tDCS on the chronic pain associated with Spinal Cord Injury

Project: Effects of tDCS combined with a visual illusion associated with Spinal Cord Injury

Project: Effects of tDCS on chronic pain due to burn injury

Project: Effects of rTMS and tDCS on motor function in stroke patients

Project: Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation in chronic pelvic pain.
