Title: Neural biomarkers for Parkinson`s disease: a study through noninvasive EEG and minimally invasive DBS electrodes implanted pulse generators
Biography:
Professor Raju, presently involved in developing and applying new estimation, systems and control-tools in order to build computational simulation- statistical models of electrical-activity in neural-circuits affected by Parkinson`s disease, understand electro-physiological-dynamics of neural-circuits in both health and in disease-states during the DBS treatment, design more effective, adaptive, and safer DBS-strategies for neurological-neurodegenerative-disorders; design new clinical/clinico—statistical experiments, develop algorithms and apply systems-level mathematical-frameworks for modeling and controlling neuronal network activity in the brain with DBS, create a more intelligent system for both placing-and-controlling the electrodes; develop a semiconductor-based Silicon-chip (which functions as neural stimulator) and implant this intelligent microchip into the Parkinson`s disease patients (as a brain machine interface) that continuously measures and monitors neural-activity.
