Research Interests:
The Harel lab activity focuses on the integration of high-field (7T) MRI data into deep brain stimulation(DBS) surgical navigation applications. We have been developing new imaging capabilities for creating high-resolution 3D anatomical models of brain structures for both basic science and clinical applications. My lab has been collaborating closely with other research groups, and I have trained a significant number of students and clinicians who have gone on to be successful in the field.
