Mukesh Dhamala

Dr. Mukesh Dhamala is a Professor of Physics and Neuroscience at Georgia State University's College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on integrating physics and brain science to improve human health, with expertise in neural mechanisms of decision-making, epilepsy, brain restoration post-stroke, and neuronal network dynamics.

• Neural mechanisms of human decision-making
• Epileptic seizures and brain network analysis
• Rehabilitative treatments and brain restoration
• Neuronal network oscillations and synchronization
• Nonlinear dynamics in neural systems

His work employs advanced methodologies such as spectral Granger causality for analyzing brain imaging and electrophysiological data. Dr. Dhamala received the prestigious NSF CAREER award in 2010 for his research program on brain network activity during perceptual decision-making.

Recent publications highlight trends in brain network analysis applied to diverse contexts including esports, schizophrenia, and stroke rehabilitation. His studies investigate the impact of action video gaming on brain structure, functional connectivity in neurological disorders, and dynamic causal modeling in cognitive tasks.

Scientific awards include:

• NSF CAREER award (2010)

Dr. Dhamala's research has been supported by grants related to brain network activity analysis and its clinical applications. He actively publishes in interdisciplinary journals covering neuroscience, computational modeling, and neuroimaging techniques.
