What We Do

Our research at the REACTIV laboratory focuses on addressing access barriers for persons with visual disabilities, and disabilities in general. We develop, extend, and optimize assistive technologies, including low-tech, high-tech, hardware, and software solutions.

Persons with disabilities face mobility restrictions due to inaccessible environments. Our team is working to advance assistive technology to the next level.

What We Do

At VMIL, we study the coordination between visual-motor pathways and goal-directed behaviors, particularly upper extremity movements. We use eye tracking and motion capture to explore brain function, aiming to develop novel diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutics in rehabilitation.

Our team was the first to identify novel deficits in stroke, which we term "eye-hand dyscoordination." This breakdown in spatial registration between eye and limb movements towards shared goals hinders motor performance.
