Low Cost Neuromotor Evaluation and Rehabilitation Technologies

Abstract

Under the guidance of Chandramouli Krishnan Ph.D., director of the University of Michigan NeuRRo Lab, the author developed and validated two tools for neuromoter evaluation and rehabilitation: a driving simulator for assessing the braking reaction time in individuals with neuromuscular disability and a neuronavigation system designed to augment transcranial magnetic stimulation sessions. The proprietary software developed as part of the systems was designed to provide low-cost, open source alternatives to existing software. This paper discusses the systems, gives context to the problems that they solve, and offers reflection on the internship experience. Validation results for each system are either under review or close to submission for publication and additionally included herein in their most current and complete forms.
