Investigating the potential to enhance post-stroke physical rehabilitation via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
This project involves work towards the development of a medical device meant to help people recover their movement abilities after a stroke. The device measures the part of the brain that controls movement, in order to provide feedback during rehabilitation exercises, as well as to help clinicians better understand the rehabilitation needs of patients. Specifically, in this project several researchers will collect and analyze data (1) to help better understand how such a device can be built so that it is usable by stroke survivors; (2) to understand the use of providing brain activity feedback during rehabilitation, as well as (3) help better understand how the data being collected from this device during the course of stroke recovery might be used to improve rehabilitation.
