Dr. Balser’s research interests are currently developing his chosen scientific domain in the intersection of functional spinal cord stimulation and cognitive multi-sensory rehabilitation. He is also interested in developing research skills including data analysis through intuitive machine learning techniques and User Interface / User Experience process improvements for health care providers and patients.
