Research Synopsis

Dr. Cheyne’s current research interests include neuroimaging technologies, measures of brain development, and basic studies of the human sensorimotor system. Over the last several years, his lab has been developing novel mathematical techniques for mapping spatiotemporal patterns of cortical activity involved in the generation of movement and speech, and are currently extending these techniques to the study of recovery of function in cerebral palsy, childhood stroke and peripheral nerve injury.  
 
More recently, Dr. Cheyne has become interested in the development of oscillatory networks in early childhood, and how these may serve as biomarkers of typical and atypical development of cognitive and motor skills.
