Mathematical biologist Emery N. Brown and neuroscientist Steven Massaquoi are collaborating in a joint venture, The Neuroscientist Advisory Board, see http://www.tnsab.com/Company/Advisors/advisors.html.
Research Interests:
Dr. Massaquoi analyses and models human neurological function
and dysfunction using electrical and mechanical engineering principles
and techniques: the goal of his research is to better understand
the mechanisms of movement disorders in particular to provide
a rational basis for the design of neuroprostheses and other therapeutic
interventions, as well as to elucidate general principles of intelligent
motor control that may have applicability to the design of autonomous
intelligent devices.
