for rehabilitation of brain injured individuals |
PI:
Patton is Co-PI and a sub-project PI |
|
|
Number: H133E070013 |
Period: 10/1/2007-9/30/2012 |
Effort: 25% |
|
Source:
NIDRR RERC |
Costs: $949,775/yr
(total costs) |
Role: Project PI & Co-PI |
|
Description: Patton is a CO-PI,
PI of a sub-project, and a co-Investigator on a project, all within this
larger Research Engineering Research Center (RERC) grant. The overall goals are
to develop and integrate a state-of-the-art robotic technology for the
rehabilitation of stroke, and increase the state of knowledge on the topic of
restoration of function through robotics and telemanipulation technology in
survivors of stroke. |

Learning and Adaptation of Multijoint Arm Movements |
PI: F.A.
Mussa-Ivaldi |

|
Number: R01-NS35673-01 |
Period: 7/1/2002 to 6/30/2007 |
Effort: 25% |
|
Source: NIH NINDS |
Costs: $250,000/yr |
Role: CO-PI |
|
Description:
This grant involves
numerous studies on how the brain controls arm movements when encountering
various items in the environment. First we will investigate the control of
upper extremity interactions with mechanical constraints, such as moving the
hand along a surface. Second, we will investigate the control of objects with
internal degrees of freedom, such as a cup of water. Third, we will identify
effective training principles for enhancing the interactions with objects and
constraints testing hypotheses that have emerged based on neural network
models of learning. |
