Neuropsychology Registry

I am a co-investigator on this project. It is currently approved by REB. This project aims to establish a prospective registry of neuropsychological data which can be combined with data from neurology and fMRI.

Retrospective Review

I am a co-investigator on this project. Data entry is well underway. I will be working together with our postdoctoral fellow to identify research questions related to examination of functioning in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy pre and post surgery.

In-silico childhood epilepsy surgery

I am involved in assisting with data collection. This is an ongoing study, well under way, where children have pre- and post-surgery neuropsychological evaluations.
