Research

Dr. Jog's research attempts to answer the structure and function of the basal ganglia and their role in movement disorders. His research projects focus on motor control including:

1. Speech, gait, balance, posture and planning;
2. Animal models and electrophysiology of the basal ganglia
3. Human intraoperative electrophysiological recording
4. Analysis and Computational and mathematical modeling of these data.

In addition, Dr. Jog also participates in many national and international clinical trials of new and innovative treatments for movement disorders. He is also developing new innovative projects including New intraoperative implantable multichannel probe and interactive teaching website for movement disorders.
