(the human repair shop)
Engineering researchers are offering innovative solutions to the very real challenges faced by physically disabled people. Under the theme of Technology Enhanced Lifestyles (TeL), researchers are focusing on the quality of life of those with disabilities. Multidisciplinary research teams exist in several centers across ASU.
The Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC) employs principles in cognitive psychology to understand issues from the users’ side. Its technology-centric assistive and rehabilitative environment (iCARE) research includes projects that allow the visually impaired to read printed materials and those who are blind to access hypertext materials. Others areas of research include face recognition technology and motion and gait analysis.
The Center for Adaptive Neural Systems and the Center for Neural Interface Design have a rehabilitative focus, developing technologies and therapeutics for improved motor and cognitive functions for people with physical disabilities and neurodegenerative diseases.
