HEALTH
Biofeedback for Rehabilitation

AME is developing digital media-based systems that integrate task-specific motor skill training, associated sensory and cognitive stimuli and stress-monitoring within interactive, multimodal environments. The environments provide purposeful, engaging audiovisual scenes in which stroke survivors and Parkinson’s patients practice functional movement tasks while receiving multi-modal feedback that measures performance and indicates results.

The system facilitates sensory-motor integration, promotes neural plasticity and encourages improvement. Research and development is closely intertwined with regular rehabilitation sessions with patients. [Thanassis Rikakis] Learn more

EDUCATION
Embodied and Mediated Learning

AME is developing embodied, mediated, learning frameworks for K-12 and college-level art and science education. These frameworks integrate emerging technologies, enable collaborative and active learning, and adapt to the needs of students with diverse learning styles. AME mediated-learning programs are implemented in collaboration with a network of K-12 schools, universities and community partners. [David Birchfield] Learn more
