Lab Tour

Our laboratory is equipped with advanced systems for neural assessment, noninvasive neuromodulation, sensorimotor evaluation, and rehabilitation research. These platforms support studies of brain function, motor control, neuroplasticity, and functional recovery in both healthy participants and individuals with neurological disorders.

Biodex System

The Biodex system is used for quantitative assessment of movement and neuromuscular performance. It enables precise measurement of joint torque, muscle strength, range of motion, and functional motor performance under standardized conditions.

Biodex Isokinetic Systems Accessories

Our Biodex system is complemented by specialized accessories that expand its applications across different joints, movement patterns, and participant needs. These accessories support more flexible and task-specific assessment and training in both orthopedic and neurological research.

BioStep Semi-Recumbent Elliptical

The BioStep semi-recumbent elliptical is a low-impact rehabilitation and exercise system designed for safe functional training. Its semi-recumbent design improves accessibility and comfort for individuals with limited mobility, while supporting studies of endurance, conditioning, and rehabilitation exercise.

High-Resolution Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Our high-resolution TMS system provides noninvasive stimulation of targeted cortical regions with high spatial specificity. It is used to assess corticospinal excitability, map motor representations, and investigate neural plasticity and motor recovery.

High-Resolution Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS)

HD-tDCS delivers weak electrical currents through a high-definition electrode configuration to modulate cortical excitability in a focal manner. In our lab, it is used to study targeted neuromodulation and develop therapeutic strategies for neurological rehabilitation.

Multi-Channel Electroencephalography (EEG)

Our multi-channel EEG system records brain electrical activity with high temporal resolution. It supports research on cortical oscillations, functional connectivity, sensorimotor processing, and brain-state changes associated with learning, recovery, and neuromodulation.

Multi-Channel Electromyography (EMG)

The multi-channel EMG system records muscle activity from multiple muscles simultaneously. It is used to analyze neuromuscular coordination, muscle synergies, abnormal activation patterns, and changes in motor behavior during rehabilitation.

Galileo Tactile Stimulator

The Galileo Tactile Stimulator delivers precisely controlled tactile stimulation for neuroscience and sensorimotor research. It supports studies of somatosensory processing, sensory integration, and neuroplasticity.

In addition, our laboratory also includes music-based rhythmic rehabilitation devices, virtual reality systems, and neuroscience-related teaching models and demonstration tools. These resources further support research and education in motor training, sensory feedback, immersive neurorehabilitation, and neural science learning.
