Research in the Traumatic Brain Injury Laboratory examines the medical, rehabilitation, cognitive and functional problems associated with acquired brain injury and related clinical populations. Numerous clinical trials have been conducted in these populations often focusing on pharmacological interventions to ameliorate cognitive, attentional and behavioral issues that result from acquired brain injury. The area of motor control, spasticity and movement disorders as a result of acquired brain injury is another major research focus. Imaging techniques such as fMRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation are being employed to obtain a better working understanding of the injured brain and how changes in it impact patient function. The lab has two peripheral nerve stimulators and two separate EMG machines for transcranial magnetic stimulation, including the Oxford Instrument Medelec™ Synergy N2 - EMG and the Magstim Model 200. The lab has three Pentium-class desktop computers and two Pentium-class notebooks. Researchers also have available to them a number of software packages, including statistical packages (e.g. Statistica, SPSS), reference management software (e.g. ProCite & Reference Manager), and stimulus delivery software (i.e. E-Prime) to assist in conducting the research and entering the data for data analyses. The laboratory also has access to and full support of the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation (KIR), the largest and most comprehensive medical rehabilitation hospital in New Jersey. For the past ten consecutive years, KIR has been ranked among the nation's top rehabilitation hospitals, and is the highest ranked rehabilitation hospital in the Northeast.
