Biography

Yen Foung Tai is an academic neurologist with a special interest in the study and treatment of movement disorders. He has a research background focused on using functional imaging to develop markers of disease progression, particularly in the context of neuro-protective and restorative therapies for Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. He is interested in leveraging technology, such as neuromodulation and deep brain stimulation (DBS), to improve treatment for movement disorders. Currently, he leads a study assessing the effects of spinal cord stimulation on gait dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.
