Research Focus
Dr. Roozbeh Kiani's lab at New York University focuses on understanding and controlling neural activity in the brain to develop new treatments for disorders like Parkinson's disease and depression. They employ advanced techniques to monitor and influence brain circuits during decision-making and movement, bridging the gap between cognitive functions and motor actions. By using data-driven methods and targeted stimulation, their research aims to advance therapies and brain-computer interface technologies, providing solutions for neurological and psychiatric conditions.
