About
Sarah Gallick’s research sits at the critical intersection of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neuroprosthetics, where she investigates how the injured brain can be harnessed for brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). Her most cited work, “Hemicraniectomy in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Noninvasive Platform to Investigate High Gamma Activity for Brain Machine Interfaces” (2019, 23 citations), introduces a groundbreaking approach: using patients who have undergone hemicraniectomy—a surgical removal of part of the skull to relieve pressure after severe TBI—as a unique, noninvasive window to study high gamma band neural activity. This work demonstrates that the exposed cortex provides an unprecedented opportunity to record high-fidelity signals without implanting electrodes, potentially accelerating the development of less invasive BMIs for paralyzed individuals. Gallick’s contributions are reshaping how we think about neural signal acquisition, turning a clinical necessity into a research asset. Her work has been recognized for its translational potential, bridging acute neurocritical care with long-term neural rehabilitation. With a growing citation footprint, Gallick is establishing herself as a pioneer in leveraging TBI pathophysiology to advance neurotechnology.
