My research takes place at the intersection of motor neurophysiology, bioengineering, and machine learning. We apply dimensionality reduction methods to chronic multi-electrode neural recordings in a brain-computer interface paradigm to offer a neural population view of the brain. One branch of my research program uses brain-computer interfaces to answer basic science questions about the structure and flexibility of neural population activity. A second branch of my research program focuses on developing brain-computer interfaces that have the potential to restore movement to people with spinal cord injury or provide rehabilitation to people after strokes.
