Enrico Opri

Dr. Enrico Opri is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan, where he directs the Opri Lab. His research focuses on engineering novel methodologies to automate and enhance clinical procedures in neuromodulation for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s, Tourette syndrome, essential tremor, and epilepsy.

Research Focus

• Neurophysiological activity in basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits
• Therapeutic effects of neuromodulation (e.g., Deep Brain Stimulation, cortical stimulation mapping)
• Identification of neurological biomarkers for improved clinical procedures
• Advancements in closed-loop neurostimulation systems

Article Trends

Dr. Opri's recent publications emphasize closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems, computational modeling of neural activity, and the identification of biomarkers for neurological disorders. Key subfields include Parkinson’s disease motor dynamics, Tourette syndrome tic detection, essential tremor treatment, and cortico-thalamic coupling mechanisms. His work bridges biomedical engineering and clinical neuroscience, focusing on translating technological innovations into therapeutic applications.
