Mechanistic Evaluation of taVNS in Motor Adaptation for Stroke Rehabilitation

This study aims to evaluate the mechanisms by which transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may facilitate motor learning and adaptation, focusing on reticulospinal tract (RST) activation. A set of assessments will be used to build a comprehensive neurophysiological profile, providing insights relevant to developing taVNS-based clinical interventions. In this role, you will engage in study design, data collection, and analysis, gaining hands-on experience in mechanistic neurophysiological research with direct clinical applications.

Development of a user-friendly testing and debugging tool for a robotic device for upper-limb rehabilitation

Stroke survivors suffering from hand impairment are often severely limited in the execution of activities of daily living. The Rehabilitation Engineering Lab developed ReHandyBot, a haptic device for hand rehabilitation that can be used by patients under therapist supervision or independently in the clinic and at home. In this project, a testing and debugging tool to detect device functionality errors and suggest mitigation strategies will be developed.
