Currently, I am a trial manager on a UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship Project, where I am responsible for planning and running EEG-based BCI research trials – which primarily includes trials with patients who have prolonged disorders of consciousness and/or physical impairments resulting from injury or disease. My main area of research has a focus on brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies.

- Peripheral stimulation
- Virtual reality
I study the spinal and supraspinal neural control of dynamic movements, and the impact of pain, stress or anxiety, and musculoskeletal or neurological disorders on this control. To do this I use techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, surface electromyography (including high-density arrays), intramuscular electromyography, peripheral nerve stimulation and motion capture.

I am an early-career multidisciplinary researcher, presently employed as a clinical machine learning researcher at the University of Oxford. My research primarily centres around electronic healthcare records and secondary care data. During my doctoral studies, I concentrated on visual knowledge transformation, while my current postdoctoral work is centred on developing survival-aware machine learning techniques for healthcare applications

Harith Akram MD PhD FRCS (Neuro.Surg)
Working in:
- Computational and dynamical brain models
- Digital Health
- Invasive brain or spinal stimulation
- Invasive recording systems
- Data science and biomarkers
My research interests are in functional neurosurgery for pain, mental disorders and mental disorders. My PhD was in advanced computational neuroimaging and connectomic neurosurgery. I have ongoing work to develop translational methods in MRI brain connectivity, in addition to his involvement in various clinical trials to improve the safety and efficacy of existing therapies, and explore new and emerging applications.
