AndrewDunn

About
Andrew Dunn’s research is focused on developing novel optical imaging techniques for imaging brain function. His lab seeks to integrate innovative photonics and computational techniques and to apply them to research questions in areas such as stroke, migraine, functional mapping during neurosurgery and Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, they are developing imaging techniques that aid in furthering our understanding of basic neurophysiological mechanisms.

One of the techniques Dunn’s lab has developed is laser speckle contrast imaging of blood flow, which is used to dynamically image the cerebral blood flow changes during stroke, migraine and normal brain activation. Dunn collaborates closely with neuroscientists, neurologists and neurosurgeons in the application of these imaging techniques to various problems related to brain function.
