About

Dominic Kraus is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, specializing in brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and neuromodulation to restore motor function after stroke. His work centers on coupling cortical stimulation with peripheral feedback to enhance corticospinal plasticity. Kraus’s most influential paper (130 citations) demonstrates how brain-state-dependent stimulation—triggered by motor cortex activity—can boost excitability for neurorehabilitation. He further showed that brain–robot interfaces drive distributed plasticity across corticospinal pathways (74 citations), and his 2018 study revealed how state-dependent paired associative stimulation recruits additional corticospinal pathways after corticospinal tract lesions (45 citations). Kraus also pioneered proprioceptive β-band neurofeedback to rewire cortico-muscular control in both healthy and poststroke brains (22 citations), and his work on concurrent cortical-peripheral stimulation controlled by sensorimotor desynchronization (19 citations) offers a closed-loop approach to enhance connectivity. These contributions collectively advance targeted, activity-dependent therapies for motor recovery, positioning Kraus at the forefront of translating neural engineering principles into clinical rehabilitation strategies.
