The aim of our projects is to improve mobility, safety and quality of life.

Our research uses advanced brain stimulation and brain signal recording methods to understand the effects of healthy ageing on the brain networks responsible for bimanual movement, coordination and motor inhibition.

We are also developing innovative non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to enhance recovery after stroke.
