The goal of our DoD-funded research program is to determine whether photosensitivity could serve as a marker for altered brain processing of sensory information after traumatic brain injury (TBI) , and to assess the link between chronic pain and PTSD in these individuals. We assess sensory function and chronic sequelae of TBI in participants using self-report surveys and questionnaires, quantitative sensory testing instruments. We use functional imaging to elucidate neural circuits activated by sensory stimuli. We seek highly motivated, highly skilled, analytical and creative individuals who can work independently and efficiently in a fast-paced research environment.
