Dr Subasree R.

Additional Professor, NIMHANS

Bio

Currently working the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences as an Additional Professor in the department of Neurology, my areas of research interests are Behavioral and cognitive neurology, Dementia, stroke, Cerebral venous thrombosis, Non -invasive Brain computer interfaces and their clinical applications.

I have more than 12 years’ experience in working in cognitive neurology and have expertise in managing young onset dementias, reversible dementias, Normal pressure hydrocephalus, the crossroads of stroke and cognition, genetically mediated dementias and Neurodegenerative dementias like Alzheimer and Frontotemporal dementia and have been involved in diagnosis, management, counselling, research, care and follow up of dementia subjects. I have experience in working on Genetics on Dementia and also cognitive games/rehabilitation using brain computer interfaces. I have also guided and co guided more than 15 DM Neurology residents and have been part of cognitive neurology awareness and educational programs, public talks etc.
