Neuroscience Robotics

The Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory and its partners have pioneered the field of neuroscience robotics, being among the first to combine high-performance robotics and functional neuroimaging to investigate human motor control and related dysfunctions under well-controlled and reproducible conditions. More recently, this approach has been complemented by real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback, exploring novel therapeutic paradigms to promote neuroplasticity through targeted neural intervention.
