About

Dr. Jonathan Jagid is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research sits at the intersection of advanced neuromodulation, neuroprosthetics, and precision surgical robotics. His most impactful work demonstrates a profound commitment to restoring function and alleviating pain in patients with severe neurological conditions. A landmark contribution is his 2023 study on brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), where he demonstrated that a patient with quadriplegia could achieve brain-controlled stepping using signals from invasive electrocorticography, a breakthrough for spinal cord injury rehabilitation. In parallel, Dr. Jagid has significantly advanced the field of epilepsy surgery through a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis on robotic-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), establishing benchmarks for safety and precision in electrode placement. His innovative application of robotics extends to pain management, where he has refined the technique of stereotactic percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia, achieving high efficacy with minimal invasiveness. With his most cited papers accumulating over 38 citations in just a few years, Dr. Jagid’s work is rapidly shaping the future of functional neurosurgery, offering new hope for patients with paralysis, refractory epilepsy, and chronic pain.
