The Litt laboratory focuses on translating NeuroEngineering research directly into patient care. It is a collaboration between Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuroscience, and Engineering. While epilepsy is the lab’s core focus, our multidisciplinary efforts span a variety of scientific and clinical interests, including functional neurosurgery, network and computational neuroscience, movement disorders, intra-operative and ICU monitoring, major mental illness, and other brain network disorders.
Areas of focus include:
* Implantable Neurodevices
* Brain Stimulation
* Seizure prediction/ seizure generation
* Computational tools to track and modulate brain function
* Localizing seizures and epileptic networks
* Mapping functional networks and circuits in human brain
* Minimally invasive tools for acquiring, localizing and displaying high
fidelity electrophysiologic recording
* Intelligent systems applied to neuroimaging
