Research Interests

Dr. Roland's research focuses on how functional networks in the brain develop and reorganize in response to injury or intervention. I study these networks with a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and intracranial electrophysiology such as SEEG and ECoG. I incorporate paradigms where patients participate alongside their routine clinical care to avoid any burden and occasionally help them pass the time while in the hospital for their standard care.
