Prof. Ilana Nisky is the head of the Biomedical Robotics Lab is with the Biomedical Engineering Department at Ben Gurion University of the Negev. We apply neuroscience theories about the human sensorimotor control, perception, adaptation, learning, and skill acquisition in the development of human-operated medical and surgical robotic systems. We also use robots, haptic devices, and other mechatronic devices as a platform to understand the human sensorimotor system in real-life tasks like surgery, and in virtual tasks like virtual reality games or rehabilitation of individuals with neurological conditions. We hope that this research will improve the quality of treatment for patients undergoing surgery or rehabilitation, will facilitate better training of surgeons, advance the technology of teleoperation and haptics, and advance our understanding of the brain.
