Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery, School of Medicine, University of Washington
My research focuses on human electrophysiological and imaging correlates of behavior, disease, and interventions for epilepsy, movement disorders and pain.Areas of Interest: Brain-Computer Interfaces; Disorders of the Nervous System; Motor Systems and Sensorimotor Integration; Neural Circuits.Our lab seeks to characterize electrophysiological and imaging correlates of behavior and disease in humans. Particularly, we take advantage of access to human data during interventions for epilepsy and movement disorders. We focus on electrophysiological recordings gathered during long-term monitoring for seizure localization, or during implantation of electrodes for Deep Brain Stimulation. Areas of interest include basic science research examining neural correlates of cognition and behavior, and mechanisms underlying deep brain stimulation for movement disorders; we are also focused on translational work in the development of closed-loop deep brain stimulation systems. We work closely with researchers using advanced MR imaging to examine similar patient populations, looking for imaging correlates for surgical outcomes. In short, we combine approaches from neurophysiology, radiology and engineering to approach both the description of neurobiological processes and intervene in neuropathology.

POTS – What You Need to Know

Tuesday 17th February, 7pm - 9pm AEDT

Speaker

Prof Dennis Lau

Cardiac Electrophysiologist; The Royal Adelaide Hospital; Clinical Professor, The University of Adelaide

Hear the latest evidence-based management options for POTS - a common, yet poorly recognised and misunderstood autonomic dysfunction condition in our community. Join Prof Dennis Lau for an update on POTS, who is at risk, presenting symptoms and how it can be diagnosed in the primary care setting.
