McMackin Lab
About Us
The McMackin Lab harnesses MRI and electrophysiological methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography (EMG), and electroencephalography (EEG) to understand and develop clinically meaningful measurements of neurological diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/ Motor Neurone Disease and Huntington's Disease. The Lab also performs research to understand the basic human physiology underpinning the electrophysiology-based measures, to improve the correct understanding and application of these measures.
The McMackin Lab works in close collaboration with the Academic Unit of Neurology and is part of the EXG Research Group, a collaboration of neuroscience, medicine, physiology, bioengineering and mathematics researchers with the common interest of harnessing electrophysiology to tackle neurological diseases.
