Eduardo Martin MoraudExpertise
The Moraud group develops closed-loop neuromodulation therapies for movement disorders, particularly Parkinson’s disease, with a specific emphasis on gait and balance impairments. The group integrates multimodal monitoring of motor and neural biomarkers to enable real-time decoding of dysfunctional states and their underlying neural dynamics, advancing a circuit-level understanding of locomotor control and informing the design of state-dependent adaptive therapies.
