Bio
Lev Vaisman, MD, PhD, is an assistant professor of clinical neurology at Indiana University School of Medicine. He joined the Department of Neurology faculty in August 2024.
Dr. Vaisman, who was born in the Soviet Union/Russia but grew up in Canada, obtained initial higher education in biomedical engineering at the University of Toronto. He completed medical school, an MD-PhD program, at Boston University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. This was followed by an intern year at Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and a neurology residency at Boston Medical Center in Boston. Dr. Vaisman pursued fellowship training in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Following the completion of post-graduate training, he was a faculty member at the University of Cincinnati.

I currently do not pursue research actively, but in the past my research focus was in the field of neurophysiology, specifically, proprioceptive evoked potentials, network analysis, and brain-machine interfaces.
Main clinical interest is epilepsy, especially presurgical evaluation of patients with medication-refractory epilepsy. But I also see patients with multiple other neurological conditions as well.
