Hi, I'm Ali Ghavampour.
PhD Student in Neuroscience at Western University.
I study the neural mechanisms of motor control using fMRI and computational modeling. My research focuses on how the brain plans and executes complex hand movements.

Custom hardware development for hand/finger force measurement using Arduino, Python, and C++. Plug & Play.
A very fast searchlight anlaysis pipeline developed in Diedrichsen lab. Check out the code here.
I'm mainly working on how we learn novel muscle activity patterns (just like new guitar chords like F#). Check out the first paper here.

Read PaperI am currently a Neuroscience PhD student at Western University, supervised by Dr. Jörn Diedrichsen and Dr. Andrew Prusyznksi. My background bridges electrical engineering and neuroscience. I really enjoy building custom research hardware! You can definitely contact me if you are interested in a colab: aghavamp@uwo.ca. Outside the lab, I enjoy playing guitar.
