Lila Levinson

I am a neuroscientist who recently graduated from the University of Washington. I worked in the UW GRIDlab with Dr. Jeff Ojemann and Dr. Steve Perlmutter. My research interests center around using direct electrical stimulation of the human cortex to change the state of the brain. Using electrical stimulation, we can harness and direct the underlying natural flexibility of the brain to promote recovery after spinal cord injury and stroke. In addition to my research, I am passionate about science writing, education, and outreach, and about making academia, and STEM spaces in particular, safe and welcoming for anyone and everyone who wants to do science.
