The primary objective of my research is to understand normal brain versus dysfunctional brain functioning to improve predictive accuracy and develop a non-invasive and non-pharmacological intervention. My research methods utilize univariate and multivariate approaches, including clinical, behavioural, neuropsychological, electrophysiological, functional, and structural neuroimaging measures. My research incorporates insights and tools from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and computer science, to triangulate the variegated nature of human brain disorders.
I mainly apply it in two themes:
Understanding variabilities in an individual with a dysfunctional brain against the normal (theme 1)
How it can be assisted and improved (theme 2)
To this end, I have been working on individuals with various clinical disorders, i.e., Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson's disease, Stress, Bipolar Affective disorder, and Schizophrenia. To develop and optimize novel rehabilitation modalities for brain disorders, I worked on a project investigating the efficacy of EEG-neurofeedback training in patients with TBI and ADHD. My responsibilities include conceptualization of the study, designing the research protocol, grant writing, submission for funding, data acquisition, analysis, and report writing.
