About
Niki Pandria is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), with a focus on restoring motor function for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work bridges noninvasive neural interfaces and assistive robotics, demonstrating how off-the-shelf BCI systems can control anthropomorphic robotic arms—a breakthrough with 42 citations that highlights the potential for low-cost, safe rehabilitation tools. Pandria’s studies assess user perception and performance in SCI patients, revealing how wireless brain-robot interfaces foster dormant neuroplasticity, as outlined in her 2022 protocol for a nonrandomized controlled trial (8 citations). She has also compared visual versus kinesthetic motor imagery for BCI control, advancing understanding of optimal control modalities, and explored commercial BCI systems to map functional brain networks post-injury (6 citations). Her cumulative work, totaling over 78 citations, underscores a commitment to translating lab innovations into practical, patient-centered solutions. Pandria’s research not only pushes the boundaries of assistive technology but also offers hope for restoring independence in those with life-changing disabilities.
