Overview
A new Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics (CN-CR) has been launched, with a multi-million pound investment.The Centre combines research on human cognition, sensory and motor systems, and computational modelling with research on robotic systems leading towards a better understanding of both brain function and advanced robotics.The research will also be translated into innovative treatments for brain injuries and those with degenerative or developmental neurological disorders.
This includes developing new rehabilitation techniques for patients with brain injury or dysfunction; and developing new kinds of robot controllers for use both for rehabilitation of patients, and as assistive technologies where rehabilitation is insufficient.
