This section will be assigned to contain general information on the studies I am conducting at NIH. This section is also under construction and will be probably up and running by mid-2002 or so, please check back later. In the meantime, please use the links in the table above for general information. My research projects currently include one EEG protocol. Its title is "EEG Study of Movement-Related Center-Surround Organization in Hand Dystonia" (if you click here you can obtain the word document file with the detailed description of the protocol together with a useful literature reference list). You can find consent forms for this protocol if you go to the NIH Clinical Center's Protocol Search Page and enter 02-N-0010 as the protocol number.
