Refined Intervention Today's standard neurological tests are often not sensitive enough to detect the subtle cognitive deficits resulting from brain damage. Dr. Brian Levine and his team are working to change that. Using novel assessment and rehabilitation techniques – coupled with new brain imaging tools such as structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) – Dr. Levine's research aims to enable a better understanding of real-life memory and attention processes and how they are affected by brain disease. Dr. Levine and his team have developed and are testing targeted interventions designed to help patients recovering from brain damage improve executive functions such as working memory, planning and goal management.
