We are developing a cooperatively controlled robot system for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in which a clinician and robot share control of a 3-D ultrasound (US) probe. IGRT involves two main steps: 1) planning/simulation and 2) treatment del...
The design of brain-computer interface for the wheelchair for physically disabled people is presented. The design of the proposed system is based on receiving, processing, and classification of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signals and then perfo...

Brain-machine interface (BMI) systems use signals acquired from the brain to directly control the movement of an actuator, such as a computer cursor or a robotic arm, with the goal of restoring motor function lost due to injury or disease of the nerv...
There is a large body of work demonstrating that infants are sensitive to the distinction between human and mechanical entities from the early months of life, and have different expectations for the way these entities move and interact. The current w...
