hello brain lab
Welcome to the Biomechanics, Rehabilitation, and Interdisciplinary Neuroscience (BRaIN) Lab at the University of Central Florida
Our mission
To advance knowledge about the human brain and human locomotion and to develop new methods for making brain technologies more accessible and inclusive
Biomechanics
The motion, forces, and energy of movement
Rehabilitation
Preserving and recovering mobility
Interdisciplinary Neuroscience
Combining neuroscience with engineering, art, and communication science
Research
We study the brain dynamics and neuromechanics of human locomotion and adaptation. We also explore and develop new methods to expand the capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) to study human movement. Our long-term goal is to develop gait and lower limb rehabilitation approaches based on brain dynamics and multimodal neuromechanics. We hope to help people walk faster, walk more economically, have improved balance, and be able to move to adapt to unexpected situations.

Our first publication of 2021 by Seyed (@shirazi_en) and funded by #NIH #NIA is available via early access at @TNSRE1. Can we activate specific brain areas at specific times by tuning perturbations? How do people adapt to these perturbations? https://t.co/XwE0va18Mh
