Description

This program supports rehabilitation engineering research that develops modeling, simulation, analysis, robotics and systems engineering technology. Application areas include early stage technology development of neuroprosthesis and neuroengineering, robotics rehabilitation, virtual rehabilitation, and biomechanics of human movement. Specific technologies include the development of intelligent hardware and software for the control of devices and the prediction of physiological signals and human behavior.
