Neurorehabilitation & Neuroscience Team

The Neurorehabilitation & Neuroscience Team has more than 30 Senior Scientists, Scientists, and Affiliate Scientists. Each scientist leads a research lab of students and staff. Being one of the largest teams at KITE, the research conducted by the “Neuro Team” covers a wide range of research areas, including neural regeneration and restoration (limb rehab, tissue regeneration), cognition and emotion (neurodegeneration, mood), sensation and perception (multisensory integration, motion sickness), speech (aphasia, dysarthria), swallowing (dysphagia), sleep, and mobility (fall prevention, balance/gait, driving). The team’s research focuses on both people with health conditions (stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease) and healthy adults. The team uses a wide variety of tools, including neuroimaging and neurophysiology, telerehabilitation, AI and deep learning, computer vision and robotics, Virtual Reality and simulation technologies, wearable and assistive devices, music therapy and neural entrainment, and functional electrical stimulation, and community exercise programs, to help people improve their function and prevent injury.
