About
Didier Allexandre is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, rehabilitation engineering, and human-machine interaction. His primary focus is on understanding the neural mechanisms of human locomotion, particularly how the brain controls walking and how this control is altered by injury or augmented by technology. His most cited work, a 2017 EEG pilot study, made a foundational contribution by demonstrating that cortical activity and cortico-muscular connectivity vary in correlation with different phases of the walking cycle. Critically, this study explored how this mechanism may be disrupted in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI), and investigated the feasibility of detecting brain signals during walking with and without powered exoskeleton assistance. This pioneering research, which has garnered 2 citations, is a crucial step toward developing closed-loop neuroprosthetic systems. By characterizing the neural signatures of assisted locomotion, Allexandre’s work directly informs the design of more intuitive, brain-controlled exoskeletons, aiming to restore mobility and improve the quality of life for individuals with paralysis.
