New Jersey Institute of Technology · Biomedical EngineeringCerebellum Neuromodulation Lab
Mesut Sahin · Newark, New Jersey
Research Focus
Dr. Mesut Sahin's research lab focuses on understanding and modulating the cerebellum's activities using advanced non-invasive stimulation techniques. The lab investigates how to improve both motor and cognitive functions by applying methods like focused ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Their goal is to develop better therapeutic strategies for neurological and psychiatric disorders involving cerebellar dysfunction.
