Professional Interests
I am a Principal Investigator using portable EEG/3D-Body technology to measure brain dynamics in every day, real life situations such as spatial navigation and dual-task walking to capture subtle changes in cognition and everyday function during the preclinical stages using the A/T/N neuropathology classification of Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias
