Amir Kheradmand

Amir Kheradmand is an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine with joint appointments in the Department of Neurology, Department of Neuroscience, Department of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, and the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR). He serves as Director of Research in the Neuro-Visual & Vestibular Division at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where his work bridges clinical neurology and computational neuroscience.

His research focuses on the neural mechanisms of human spatial perception and ocular motor control, particularly in the context of vestibular and neuro-visual disorders. He investigates how the brain maintains orientation constancy—the stable perception of the world despite constant motion—and how its failure leads to debilitating symptoms such as dizziness and imbalance.

Dr. Kheradmand employs psychophysical testing, computational modeling, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to functionally map the human temporoparietal cortex and quantify eye movements and visuospatial functions. His lab develops noninvasive, sensitive, and low-noise methods applicable in both research and clinical settings.

He is affiliated with multiple graduate training programs, including the Neuroscience Training Program, Center for Hearing and Balance, and the Computer Science Graduate Program, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach.

While no specific awards or publications are listed in the profile, his research program is clearly translational, aiming to innovate diagnostic and therapeutic tools through an iterative process between laboratory findings and clinical practice.

Dr. Kheradmand leads an active research laboratory focused on understanding and treating disorders of spatial orientation and balance. His team integrates behavioral paradigms with advanced neuroscientific techniques to produce clinically meaningful outcomes. The lab emphasizes quantitative method development for application in both research and patient care.
