Resources

The lab is equipped with an 8-camera motion capture system (Motion Analysis Corporation, Santa Rosa, CA) to analyze 3D movements as well as provide feedback of these movements in real-time. There is a force plate (AMTI, Watertown, MA) embedded in the floor that is used to measure postural control, a 16-channel wireless EMG system (Delsys, Natick, MA) to measure muscle activity, and wearable activity monitors (Actigraph, Pensacola, FL). We also have virtual reality systems (HTC Vive Pro and Oculus Quest 2) for creating virtual environments.

We also have a bimanual robot manipulandum (KINARM, BKIN Technologies, Kingston, ON) that is integrated with a virtual reality system. We can perturb participants' arm movements to assess sensorimotor function as well as create mechanical environments for enhancing motor learning and rehabilitation.

STEM Outreach

In addition to our research, we also regularly participate in STEM outreach events and activities involving middle and high school students and the general public. We regularly participate in events like the MSU Science Festival, Grandparents University, and the Math, Science and Technology Program.
