Deception, ExoNets, SmushWare & Organic Data: Frontiers in Neurorehabilitation Research
Description: Making use of visual display technology and human-robotic interfaces, many researchers have illustrated various opportunities to distort visual and physical realities. We have had success with interventions such as error augmentation, sensory crossover and negative viscosity. Judicial application of these techniques leads to training situations that enhance the learning process and can restore movement ability after neural injury. I will trace out clinical studies that have employed such technologies to improve the health and function, as well as share some leading-edge insights that include deceiving the patient, moving the "smarts" of software into the hardware and examining clinical effectiveness.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- To selectively trace out the background of the field of robotic teaching for neurorehabilitation
- To expose our recent research on robotic training in our lab, often applied to neurorehabilitation
- To discuss possible future directions for the field of technology-facilitated performance enhancement
