Biography

Martin Ballegaard is a Clinical Associate Professor in Neurology at the University of Copenhagen. His primary research focuses on the physiopathology of peripheral nerves and the central nervous system, especially utilizing technology solutions for the activation and documentation of functional deficiencies. He is currently involved in research projects like Interreg Health Advancing Technologies (HeAT), which examines digital health technologies for reporting symptoms and signs of neuropathy. Ballegaard studies the use of mobile technology in monitoring neuropathy, including the Neuropathy Tracker tool for early quantification of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy in breast cancer patients. His research also explores cortical reactions to visual stimuli and their implications on screen technology and light compositions, as well as the interactions between cortical and autonomic functions. He employs Electroencephalography (EEG) and Electrocardiography (ECG) to examine healthy subjects and patients with acute intracranial lesions. Additionally, his work investigates the effects of sleep and physical activity on motor learning, aiming to improve cortical plasticity in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. In his role at the University of Copenhagen, he teaches medical master's students in neurology and supervises BSc, MSc, and PhD projects.
