Tanuj Gulati

Tanuj Gulati is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His research bridges neuroscience, neuroengineering, and clinical rehabilitation, with a focus on developing advanced neuroprosthetic systems and understanding neural recovery mechanisms following stroke. He investigates cortico-cerebellar network dynamics, sleep-related neural oscillations, and closed-loop neuromodulation strategies to enhance motor rehabilitation outcomes.

His work spans several interconnected domains:

• Neuroprosthetics & Rehabilitation: Designing systems for adaptive neural control and post-stroke functional recovery.
• Neural Oscillations: Studying low-frequency brain activity, sleep spindles, and NREM sleep features in health and disease.
• Motor Learning: Examining cortico-cerebellar coordination during skill acquisition and consolidation.
• Neuromodulation: Developing epidural stimulation and closed-loop devices to drive neural plasticity.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2017–2025) reveals dominant themes in neuroprosthetic control systems, stroke recovery biomarkers, and sleep-dependent neural processing. His research utilizes electrophysiology (EEG), neural stimulation, and computational modeling to decode motor cortex–cerebellar interactions, with translational applications in neurorehabilitation. Recurrent technical focuses include closed-loop stimulation devices, neural synchrony quantification, and behavioral assessment frameworks.
