How Focused Breathing Can Help Beat Everyday Stress

One way to deal with stress is to learn how to develop a relaxation response. Relaxation techniques targeted at decreasing and managing tension are highly successful in the reduction of stress, and also are effective in reducing pain.

Integrating Brain and Muscle Feedback for Hand Recovery

We will develop and evaluate a novel collaborative technology that combines biofeedback of two neural signals — electroencephalography (EEG), which records electrical activity of the brain, and electromyography (EMG), which records muscle movements — to promote movement therapy.

Collaborative Machines Enhancing Therapies (COMET)

The Collaborative Machines Enhancing Therapies (COMET) center brings together four research and four development projects aimed at improving how patients move and are able to manage and use objects in everyday life.

Research Project

"Isogenic" approach to isolating the effects of single gene variations between patients who have suffered from neurotrauma.

"Neurotrauma in a Dish" - An induced pluripotent stem cell-based assay to determine patient specific factors affecting rehabilitation outcomes

Determining if patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons treated with in vitro neurotrauma can be used to predict clinical outcomes. The focus of this project is the common BDNF gene single nucleotide polymorphism Val66Met, which has been shown to have protective effects in the rehabilitation of patients with traumatic brain injury.

Low Cost Hand

Low-Cost Arm System

A prosthetic arm and hand suitable both for individuals in the United States who lack adequate insurance and also for people in low-income countries without access to prosthetic care.

Research Project

Virtual Rehabilitation System

We are developing a commercially viable virtual rehabilitation system (called the Virtual Coach) that can be used among military members and civilians who have sustained limb loss.
