Novel Stimulation Paradigms
What's driving us to innovate stimulation paradigms?
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is limited in its ability to selectively activate subgroups of axons while leaving others inactivated. This often leads to unwanted recruitment of motor units and is theorized to be an underlying mechanism in the unnatural qualities of PNS evoked sensations.
​
Here at the Graczyk Lab, we employ modeling methods to develop novel stimulation paradigms as well as evaluate them in clinical populations to quantify their impact on sensation and motor systems.
We are currently studying the impact of novel stimulation paradigms on tactile and proprioceptive sensation as well as motor recruitment. However, these paradigms may have applications pain and autonomic therapies.
