Clinical Training:

Fellowship, Cognitive Neurology, University of Pennsylvania

Residency, Neurology, University of Pennsylvania

Internship, Internal Medicine, Brown Alpert Medical School
Past Advisors:

John P Donoghue (as Graduate Student - Ph.D.)
Research:
direct brain-computer interfaces for movement and cognition

I am interested in non-invasive and implantable medical devices to restore and augment function for people with neurological disease and injury. Just as cochlear implants can restore hearing to many people with sensorineural hearing loss, so too a new generation of neuroprosthetic devices could restore movement, communication, executive planning, and memory to stricken adults and children.
Other Experience:
2002-2005 Co-Founder and Program Manager at Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology, Inc.

1996-1997 Fulbright Scholarship Hebrew University of Jerusalem

One Figure

A hypothetical computer thalamocortical 'organ' to represent relational database content. The artificial relay and primary cortices send outputs to the real pulvinar nucleus and association cortex of the patient.
