Area of Research

Description of Research Interest

Yanik Lab is developing advanced technologies to communicate with and to non-invasively manipulate brain networks and subsequent cognitive behaviours for both fundamental studies and therapeutics of brain disorders. These include ultraflexible brain machine interfaces and focal neuro-modulator delivery systems by focused ultrasound. Using these technologies, we are also studying cognitively challenging paradigms at the core of major brain disorders; yet also important for robotics and AI where good computational models currently do not exist (such as imitation learning and rule inference/insight).
