Andrew Jackson

Professor Andrew Jackson of Newcastle University is a leading researcher in neuroscience and neuroengineering, focusing on neural interfaces, optogenetics, and epilepsy. His work spans brain-computer interfaces, spinal cord stimulation, and sleep-dependent memory processes.

• Key research areas: closed-loop optogenetic systems, motor cortex dynamics, cerebellar-neocortical communication, and seizure pathway analysis.
• Collaborations with experts like Dr. Boubker Zaaimi, Professor Yujiang Wang, and Dr. Wei Xu.
• Develops implantable low-power platforms for real-time neural monitoring and stimulation.

His recent publications highlight advancements in neuroprosthetics for motor recovery post-stroke/spinal injury, cortical chloride homeostasis in epilepsy, and mechanisms of brain self-regulation during movement and sleep.

Technologies pioneered include flexible neural electrodes, temperature self-monitoring optoelectronics, and wearable bioelectrical signal systems. His work integrates computational neuroscience with clinical applications in motor disorders and epilepsy.
