Research
The Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory applies robotics, wearable sensor technologies and non-invasive neuroimaging to the exploration, assessment and restoration of sensorimotor function. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying sensorimotor impairment and recovery, in order to promote the latter following neurological injury. A further focus is on the development of assistive technologies for the compensation of remaining deficits, both motor and sensory.
The lab pursues three research lines:
Explore application of engineering tools to the investigation of mechanisms underlying sensorimotor control and recovery following neurological injury
Assess development and validation of technological tools for the quantitative and sensitive characterization of sensorimotor impairments
Restore development and clinical validation of novel therapeutic and assistive tools
