Movement Neuroscience Laboratory
The mission of the lab is to advance knowledge of human neural control of movement and leverage this information to improve motor function for those with neurological impairment
Goals
1. To study the neural processes that govern perception and action in health and disease.
2. To translate principles of neuroscience into practical interventions for individuals with motor impairment.
3. To advance techniques for studying human motor neurophysiology.
Approaches
1. State of the art virtual reality and robotics to study the effects of visual and haptic feedback on motor behavior.
2. High-precision optical cameras, instrumented gloves, inertial sensors, and force sensors to study human movement biomechanics.
3. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electromyography (EMG) to study human neurophysiology.

A day for reflection, engagement, and action
Northeastern suspended operations on Monday to hold two live events focused on unity, equality, and justice. A morning vigil will be held in response to the killing of George Floyd and other Black people by police officers, to be followed by a discussion on civil rights and justice. “We will use this time and space—exactly […]
ICRA 2020 – Virtual Workshop
ICRA is the largest robotics meeting in the world and is the flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society. Due to current exceptional circumstances, the conference couldn’t be organized in Paris as planned. Workshops on Learning of Manual Skills in Humans and Robotics were held as part of the conference on May, 31. Dr. Mathew […]
