RESEARCH INTERESTS
Anna Feldbush is a PhD student in Virginia Tech's Neuroscience program. She aims to understand how stroke impacts somatosensory signaling through the nervous system. To do this, she is examining what factors impact sensory signal loss from the site of stimulation to eventual perception. She utilizes a combination of neuroimaging, peripheral nerve assessment, and custom system design to observe and measure peripheral nerve, brainstem, and the brain's response to tactile stimuli.
