Explore cutting-edge research in motion analytics through this 15-minute webinar presented by Dr. Galit Pelled, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Neuroscience and Radiology at Michigan State University. Discover how studying motor behaviors reveals fundamental principles of the brain and mind, with a focus on developing hardware and computational tools to measure movement in dynamic environments. Learn about innovative research using octopuses as model organisms to understand motor control and behavior, including novel technologies for recording electrophysiology signals from octopus nervous systems and computer vision platforms that measure octopus movement with high resolution. Examine how these approaches enable precise modeling of octopus arm movement and their potential applications in improving brain-machine interface neuroprostheses and developing assistive technologies for circuit compensation and augmentation. Understand the critical role of motor behavior analysis in measuring normal development in translational animal models and how neurotrauma disrupts normal motor behaviors. Gain insights into marine-inspired technologies for artificial sensing and adaptive prosthetics, sensory-motor performance restoration after traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and peripheral nerve injury, as well as methods for improving athletic performance and cognitive capabilities through genetic-based neuromodulation and non-invasive brain stimulation. Earn PACE credits by registering as a Labroots member and completing the webinar requirements.
