Title / Titel M³ Lab - Multi-Modal Motion Synthesis Laboratory
PDF Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung The goal of the M3 Lab is the investigation of the neurological and biomechanical principles of human motor learning and motor control. This is performed by applying multi-modal and user-cooperative techniques to patients with movement disorders (rehabilitation research) and to healthy subjects (basic motor research, sports, entertainment). Multi-modal means that the subject is supplied with a maximum amount of information by exploiting visual, acoustical, tactile, and kinaesthetic sensor and actor channels. Cooperative means that the technical system takes into account the subject’s efforts and intention rather than imposing an inflexible strategy. Multi-modality and cooperative control have the potential to improve the motor learning effects in motor therapies as well as movement training applications.
