Mentor Areas
Dr. Richardson is a neuroengineer interested in restoring lost function after brain injury or disease using brain-machine interface (BMI) technology. His research involves the development and use of BMI that can record neural activity during free behavior, control neural activity through electrical stimulation, and create contingencies between neural or behavioral activity and brain stimulation. This technology can modulate neural circuits, strengthen weakened pathways, and provide non-native conduits through which a user can interact with the world.
Description:
Projects will vary. Interested students should contact us to discuss possibilities.
Preferred Qualifications
Required skills vary by project but in the past have included development of experimental control software, neural data analysis, and computational modeling using several programming languages (MATLAB, C++, Python).
