Dr. Dadarlat conducts research in sensorimotor integration, neural plasticity, and brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). Her work focuses on understanding how the brain processes sensory feedback to guide movement, with the goal of developing neuroprosthetic technologies that restore lost motor and sensory functions. A key area of her research is the role of sensory feedback in motor learning and control. Using a combination of electrophysiology, computational modeling, and behavioral experiments, she investigates how the somatosensory and motor cortices interact to adapt to new experiences.
Dr. Graczyk research focuses on neural interfaces, sensory neuroprosthetics, and human perception. Her work focuses on developing advanced brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and neuroprosthetic technologies to restore sensory function, particularly touch perception in individuals with limb loss or neurological impairments. A key area of her research is sensory feedback for prosthetic limbs. Using electrical stimulation of the peripheral and central nervous system, Graczyk investigates how artificial sensory signals can be interpreted naturally by the brain, improving the control and usability of neuroprosthetic devices.
Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago, uses intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) to restore the sense of touch to individuals with spinal cord injuries. His research focuses on designing spatiotemporal patterns of ICMS such that the sensations are both intuitive and informative.
