Dylan Edwards

Dylan J. Edward's research uses established and developing technologies to understand the control of human voluntary movement and functional recovery following neurological damage. He has extensive experience using non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) as an investigative and therapeutic tool in human subjects, initially at The University of Western Australia Medical Faculty, then BIDMC/Harvard and MIT in Boston, and Burke-Cornell in New York. His lab has established normal variability in TMS data in sub-acute and chronic stroke and age matched healthy adults in order to inform intervention studies and evaluated the effect of tDCS in chronic stroke motor recovery, and demonstrated a physiologic enhancement of the affected corticospinal output to affected muscles. Edward's has experience with resolving associated practical and technical challenges collecting data in stroke in patients trained a number of clinicians and researchers in the use of TMS and tDCS in clinical studies.
