Prof. Lior Shmuelof
Director
Pro. Lior Shmuelof is the director of the Adi-BGU Translational Neurorehabilitation Lab and head of the Brain and Action Lab, Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, BGU.
Shmuelof is interested in the neural basis of brain plasticity as can be seen during the processes of learning and recovery of motor and cognitive functions following brain damage (such as that caused by stroke or TBI). His primary methods are kinematic measurements of movement and structural and functional imaging using MRI.
His team is currently studying the kinematic and neural determinants of stroke recovery during the sub-acute phase, when most of the recovery takes place.
Dr. Reut Binyamin-Netser
Postdoctoral fellow
Dr. Reut Binyamin Netser is interested in cognitive impairments after stroke, their manifestation, natural recovery and their influence on motor learning, motor rehabilitation and motor recovery. She is a faculty member in the department of Occuptional Therapy. As a clinician, she aims to develop rehabilitation protocols to enhance recovery after stroke.
Dr. Yogev Koren
Dr. Yogev Koren obtained his undergraduate degree from Tel-Aviv University, where he studied Physical-Therapy. After almost a decade of clinical practice, he continued his studies and completed his Ph.D., focusing on motor-control and rehabilitation of posture and gait. Dr. Koren’s interests span a wide range of topics, ranging from fundamental scientific inquiries to clinical investigations. His current research focuses on sensorimotor control and perception, particularly, visuomotor control of walking. He is particularly passionate about neurorehabilitation and uses his clinical knowledge and experience to explore new approaches and technologies to enhance recovery.
Studies the interaction between damage to motor pathways and motor impairment and recovery after stroke. M.Sc. in Occupational therapy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. B.OT at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
