Welcome to the ART Research Studio
A Collaborative Space
We provide a collaborative space where translational researchers, students, and clinicians can work together for design, fabrication, application and functional testing.
A space for creative development where patient testing alongside a technician is available. With the intent to propel mobility/functionality-improving patient outcomes, in clinical care and following into home use.
EXPLORE OUR LABS
In the NERVES Lab, we aim to improve the quality of life of individuals with neurological impairments using state-of-the-art neurotechnologies. We seek to advance the scientific understanding of motor and somatosensory systems to better engineer new rehabilitation therapies and technologies. Our research focuses on both developing and testing new technologies in preclinical and clinical models, as well as working towards translation into real clinical applications.

We aim to discover and disseminate our understanding of human movement and to improve mobility outcomes in people with various health conditions (amputation, diabetes, aging). Through a combination of experimental tools like 3D motion capture, in-vivo imaging (e.g., ultrasound, thermal camera) and calorimetry, we examine how the body produces movement, consumes energy, and maintains healthy tissue.

Our research seeks to augment biological neural networks with artificial neural networks and bionic devices to treat neurological disorders and to further our understanding of neural processing. Working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and neuroscience, we are developing biologically-inspired artificial intelligence and brain-machine interfaces to restore and/or enhance human function.
