Research
Dr. Saleh main research interests include studying neural networks involved in motor learning and control, and neuroplasticity in individuals with motor and cognitive deficits. Dr. Saleh uses multidisciplinary approach involving structural and functional imaging and electrophysiological techniques and behavioral assessment, combined with advanced signal processing and analysis. She investigates cognitive-motor interactions and neuromodulation methods to promote neuroplasticity.
