About Arun
Dr. Arun Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Basic Biomedical Sciences and Department of Neuroscience at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine, where he has served since March 2020 and founded the Motor and Cognitive Control Laboratory. He earned a BS in Biology from Bundelkhand University in 2002, an MS in Biotechnology from Devi Ahilya University in 2006, and a PhD in Neuroscience from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2011, focusing on basal ganglia local field potentials and scalp EEG in Parkinson's disease patients. Singh completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Neuroscience at Emory University, researching striatal networks in Parkinsonian models and patients, and worked as a staff scientist and research assistant professor in the Neurology Department at the University of Iowa on cognitive and motor control in Parkinson's disease.
Singh's research examines oscillatory fronto-cortical networks underlying motor and cognitive impairments in Parkinson's disease using EEG and non-invasive neuromodulation (TMS/tES). Lab projects investigate oscillatory activities during lower-limb movements and dual-tasks in patients with and without freezing of gait, and neuromodulation effects on gait, balance, and cognition. Key publications include "EEG-Based Classification of Parkinson's Disease With Freezing of Gait Using Midfrontal Beta Oscillations" (Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2025), "Cerebellar Oscillatory Patterns in Essential Tremor: Modulatory Effects of VIM-DBS" (Cerebellum, 2025), "Modulation of Cerebellar Oscillations with Subthalamic Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease" (Journal of Parkinson's Disease, 2024), "Cerebellar oscillatory dysfunction during lower-limb movement in Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait" (Brain Research, 2023), and "Effects of Very Low- and High-Frequency Subthalamic Stimulation on Motor Cortical Oscillations During Rhythmic Lower-Limb Movements in Parkinson's Disease Patients" (Journal of Parkinson's Disease, 2023). He has received the Best Publication Award from LMU Munich (2011), travel awards from the Movement Disorder Society (2018, 2011), World Parkinson Congress (2016, 2013), EFNS (2011), World Federation of Neurology (2009), and fellowships including DFG Research Fellowship (2008), Junior Research Fellowship from DST India (2006), and Postgraduate Fellowship from DBT India (2004). Teaching interests include Clinical Neurosciences, Movement Disorders, and Cognitive Disorders.
