About
Dr. Michael Glassen is a pioneering researcher in neural engineering and rehabilitation, with a focus on understanding and restoring motor function after neurological injury. His work lies at the intersection of mobile brain imaging, human locomotion, and assistive robotics. In his highly cited 2022 study, "Corticomuscular Connectivity during Walking in Able Bodied and Individuals with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury," Dr. Glassen employed EEG as a mobile imaging method to investigate cortico-muscular connectivity (CMC) during walking. This exploratory work compared able-bodied individuals and those with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI), both walking independently and with exoskeleton walking robot (EWR) assistance. By revealing how neural communication between the cortex and muscles changes with injury and robotic support, his research provides critical insights for designing more effective neurorehabilitation strategies. Though early in his career, his work is already shaping how scientists and clinicians think about brain-body interfaces during real-world movement. Dr. Glassen’s contributions are foundational for advancing exoskeleton technology and brain-computer interfaces aimed at restoring mobility.
