I'm interested in how we can use low-cost interventions such as sports therapy or music-based interventions to alleviate symptoms of neurological disease. These interventions are sometimes very efficacious when used by individual clinicians, but fail to manifest similar effects when subjected to rigorous clinical trials. My objective is to better understand the mechanisms of actions in these low-cost therapies; what do they do to the brain in the short, medium and long term? Are any of these effects specific to any diseases?

The end goal is to create targeted, low cost therapies for specific neurological and psychiatric diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, stroke and depression.
