Computational models of touch sensation Neuronal
signals underlie
the sense of touch;
without this feedback, tasks such as picking up a glass would
be
virtually impossible. Our lab seeks to understand how populations of
touch-sensitive mechanoreceptors in the skin encode an object's
features into neuronal signals. Our goals are to advance
neural
prosthetics and surgical robots.

Medical
simulators The design,
construction
and evaluation of medical simulators for
training doctors to detect palpable breast and prostate cancers and
conduct exams, e.g., chest tube insertion.
