Fleming Group
The Fleming Group is based at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford.
Research Themes
Targeting motor learning & execution
We research ways to boost motor learning and motor recovery after brain injury. This includes non-invasive brain stimulation during learning and during sleep. We also investigate the impact that sleep disruption has on consolidation of motor learning.
Understanding & Engineering sleeping brain
We aim to understand how sleep changes with recovery from brain injury, using techniques to measure sleep in the rehabilitation hospital and home. We collaborate with other CoRE groups to develop and test closed-loop non-invasive brain stimulation during sleep, testing effects on slow wave sleep and consolidation of learning.
Approaches
Experimental Medicine
Our research includes human participants, both healthy participants and people with brain injury such as stroke.
