Can the field of robotics significantly advance the domains of rehabilitation, healthcare, and telecommunication? A myriad of innovative strategies have been explored to achieve this ambitious goal. However, we face a critical barrier: our limited understanding of the intricate human neural control systems. Addressing this gap is essential for the development of advanced systems that can offer substantial benefits across various facets of human life, enhancing both efficiency and effectiveness.

Reflect on the almost subconscious nature of our daily movements, which enable us to seamlessly adapt to unexpected changes in our surroundings without conscious effort. Within the sphere of rehabilitation for motor paralysis, the goal of reinstating such fluid and effortless motion stands paramount. Achieving this goal not only demands a comprehensive understanding of the myriad processes governing the human nervous system but also necessitates an in-depth exploration of how we sense our environment, interpret complex situations, make informed decisions, and establish coherent behavioral goals, all underpinned by a profound grasp of human cognitive mechanisms.

The aim of this workshop, therefore, is to cultivate an exhaustive understanding of the human nervous system, highlighting its significance as a foundational aspect of robotics applied in the enhancement of rehabilitation, healthcare, and teleoperation. By delving into and elucidating the nuances of how the nervous system processes information and executes control from a robotics perspective, we aspire to catalyze a Neural Revolution. This revolution promises not just to bridge the existing knowledge gap but also to pioneer groundbreaking advancements in how we interact with, understand, and leverage technology to address some of the most pressing challenges in medical and communicative fields.
