* Program: “The neural organization of tool use actions in humans”
* Principal Investigator: Scott H. Frey
* Brief Description. This project uses functional and structural MRI and TMS to investigate the neural bases of activities of everyday living (ADLs) involving the use and manipulation of objects, utensils and tools.
- 49581-LS Army Research Office/Army Research Laboratories
* Program: “Cortical mechanisms of multi-step action planning”
* Principal Investigator: Scott H. Frey
* Brief Description. This grant investigates the changes in neural representations that take place as individuals develop expertise using tools, prostheses and adaptive devices to accomplish manual tasks.
- 06046002 USAMRAA
* Program: “Stimulation Through Simulation: Using Non-invasive Neuroimaging to Optimize and Evaluate a Computerized Battery of Movement Simulation Tasks for Use in the Prevention and Reversal of Maladpative Brain Reorganization Following Deafferenting Injuries”
* Role on Project: PI
* Brief Description. This project employs fMRI and TMS to investigate whether practice of motor simulation tasks can stimulate and maintain the organization of sensory-motor representations during periods of limb immobilization and/or disuse.
- Murdock Foundation Exceptional Opportunity Grant
* Program: “ Exploring the Re-organizational Potential of the Adult Human Brain ”
* Principal Investigator: Scott H. Frey
* Brief Description. This project uses functional and structural MRI to investigate factors affecting the organization of sensory-motor limb representations in individuals with upper extremity amputation or congenital limb deficiency (dysmelia).
- Shriners Hospitals for Children Research Grant
* Reorganization of the sensori-motor cortex in children with spastic hemiplegia or congenital limb deficiency: Implications for the development of innovative treatment strategies.
* Principal Investigator: Michael Aiona, M.D.
* Co-Investigator: Scott H. Frey, Ph.D.
* Brief Description. This project will use functional and structural MRI and behavioral testing to investigate reorganizational changes in brain areas involved in planning movements in children with unilateral congenital limb deficiencies or spastic hemiparesis.
