提案#：13-38118合作提案#：13-37866 Pi(S)：Makedon，Fillia S与Pi(S)合作：Betke，Margrit Athitsos，Vassilis；Gatchel，Robert J；Huang，Heng；Romero-Ortega，Mario I Institute：德克萨斯大学-阿灵顿学院与研究所：波士顿大学合作标题：磁共振成像/开发：ColLab Dev。IRehab的建议：该项目开发了一种称为iRehab的仪器，旨在为患有脑损伤、运动残疾、认知障碍和/或心理社会症状的个人提供个性化的康复治疗。该仪器是一种模块化的康复设备，最简单的形式是由一台计算机、一台相机和用于评估和训练认知功能的自适应软件组成。在最后也是最复杂的形式中，该仪器将整合来自一个带有万向节和扭矩传感的四自由度机械臂、一个Kinect传感器、多个摄像头、一个眼睛跟踪设备、一个触摸屏、一个麦克风和一个fNIRS大脑成像传感器的数据。该仪器将分两个阶段开发。在第一阶段，研究人员开发了巴雷特机器人手臂。在第二阶段，该仪器将扩展到Kinect传感器、多个摄像头、眼球跟踪设备和相关的低成本组件，以及用于评估运动功能和认知、情感和个性功能的评估软件。IRehab包括综合多学科方法和传感器，以评估和协助受各种损伤影响的人的认知和身体康复。这项高度跨学科的工作遵循网络物理方法。它在以人为中心的计算、计算机视觉、辅助技术、机器人学、机器学习和神经成像等领域提供了新的研究机会。这项工作推进了人脑活动图谱、个性化医学和大数据的研究。更广泛的影响：拟议的文书有可能产生更大、更广泛的影响，因为它直接促进了未来的医疗保健和人类福祉，改善了广大患者获得负担得起的康复服务的机会。该仪器可能会加速一系列损伤和疾病的恢复，包括那些导致运动、神经和认知障碍的损伤和疾病。教育计划包括课程开发、实习、研讨会和教程，以及一个在线资源中心。除了许多教育影响外，还将感受到对所涉领域的基础研究的影响。

Proposal #: 13-38118 Collaborative Proposal #: 13-37866 PI(s): Makedon, Fillia S collaboration with PI(s): Betke, Margrit Athitsos, Vassilis; Gatchel, Robert J; Huang, Heng; Romero-Ortega, Mario I Institution: University of Texas-Arlington collaboration with Institution: Boston Univeristy Title: MRI/Dev :Collab Dev. of iRehab, an Intelligent Closed-loop Instrument for Adaptive Rehabilitation Project Proposed: This project, developing of an instrument referred to as iRehab, aims to enable personalized rehabilitation therapy for individuals suffering from brain injury, motor disabilities, cognitive impairments, and/or psychosocial symptoms. The instrument, a modular rehabilitation device, in its simplest form consists of a computer, a camera, and adaptive software for assessment and training of cognitive functions. In its final, most complex form, the instrument will integrate data from a 4-degree-of-freedom robotic-arm with gimbals and torque sensing, a Kinect sensor, multiple cameras, an eye-tracking device, a touch screen, a microphone, and an fNIRS brain imaging sensor. The instrument will be developed in two phases. In the first phase, the investigators develop a Barrett robot arm. In the second phase, the instrument will extend to a Kinect sensor, multiple cameras, an eye-tracking device, and related low-cost components, along with the assessment software for assessing motor function and cognitive, emotional, and personality functioning. iRehab consists integrates multidisciplinary methodologies and sensors to assess and assist the cognitive and physical rehabilitation of persons affected by various impairments. This work highly interdisciplinary work follows a cyber-physical approach. It provides new research opportunities across the fields of human-centered computing, computer vision, assistive technology, robotics, machine learning, and neuroimaging. This work advances research in human brain activity mapping, personalized medicine, and big data. Broader Impacts: The proposed instrument exhibits potential for large broader impact as it directly contributes to future healthcare and human wellbeing improving accessibility to affordable rehabilitation for a broad range of patients. The instrument is likely to accelerate the recovery of a large spectrum of injuries and diseases including those causing motor, neurological, and cognitive disorders. An education plan includes course development, internships, workshops and tutorials, and an on-line resource center. In addition to many educational impacts, impact will be felt on the fundamental research in the areas addressed.
