Jun Yao, PhD
Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences and McCormick School of Engineering.
Dr. Yao is interested in using multi-modality brain imaging and signal processing methods to explore the neuromechanisms underlying movement preparation and control in healthy condition and following injuries to the nervous system. By combining neuro-scientific understandings with advanced biomedical engineering techniques, such as neural machine interface, I am developing new rehabilitation methods to regain the functional control of the impaired hand in moderately to severely impaired stroke survivors.
