His research pairs brief vagus nerve stimulation with movements or sensory experiences to direct neural plasticity. The work links preclinical mechanisms with rehabilitation research in stroke, spinal cord injury, tinnitus, and PTSD. As director of the Texas Biomedical Device Center, he also develops technology for computer-assisted rehabilitation and closed-loop stimulation. This is a research setting where neural circuits, behavioral training, and biomedical device design meet around a specific question: how can useful connections be strengthened at the right moment?
