  Dr. Lara Boyd

Director, Brain Behaviour Laboratory, UBC

From their home page:  Dr. Lara Boyd, is a Peter Wall Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies Scholar, physical therapist and neuroscientist who is leading the effort to understand what therapies positively alter patterns of brain activity after stroke. Her group uses a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation to map changes in brain activity. Her studies are among the first to comprehensively examine the patterns of brain activation as they relate to motor learning and parameters of practice after stroke.
