Brain plasticity after congenital limb loss
Previous studies have demonstrated that following the loss of an upper limb, the deprived hand territory of the somatosensory cortex becomes responsive to afferent input of intact body parts (e.g., the face). It is hypothesised that this remapping of body parts is partially driven by adaptive behaviours, whereby the body part most often used to compensate for the missing limb is remapped into the cortical hand area. We are seeking motivated and independent students interested in one or both of the following tasks:
1. Pose Estimation: Use video analysis to quantify body part usage, with the goal of correlating compensatory movements with changes in brain organization.
2. Patient Recruitment & Data Analysis: Assist with patient recruitment, MRI scanning, and data analysis.
