Research Focus
Dr. Sergey Makaroff's lab focuses on developing innovative brain modeling techniques that improve upon traditional methods. They aim to create a new brain modeling engine that uses electric charge density to analyze brain activity, which can lead to better non-invasive and invasive stimulation approaches. By improving computational methods for brain modeling, the lab's research may enhance therapies for neurological conditions.
