Studying biomechanics and neural control of human movement

Neural Engineering

We develop and test methods for measuring electrophysiological signals during dynamic human movements using high density electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG). We validate hardware and signal cleaning approaches for recording high-fidelity human biosignals.

Locomotion Neuromechanics

We study human electrical brain and muscle activation dynamics together with observable movement patterns (kinematics) and forces (kinetics) acting on the body during walking and running. Our aim is to better understand how the nervous system controls human movement.

Applied Neuromechanics

We apply state-of-the-art methods for measuring human movement biomechanics and neural control signals using wearable sensors. We study human movement in real-world settings to better understand mechanisms of injury and opportunities for rehabilitating and improving performance.
