Automating the Leksell Frame Adjustor: Incorporating Phi and Theta Movement to Achieve 5 Degrees of Freedom and Trajectory Planning of the Device
The Leksell Frame is a device used in stereotactic surgery, commonly for Deep Brain Surgery (DBS). The device requires manual adjustments and soft tapping using a screw to set the target location on the brain. It is prone to human error, limiting its precision and efficiency. The aim of the project is to modernize the…
Tolerogenic Vaccine for Control and Recovery in Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While many safety interventions have been implemented to reduce occurrence, the options to treat TBI post injury are severely lacking. In order to address this need, this project presents preclinical evidence on the use of tolerogenic vaccines to reduce neuro inflammation and…
Impact of Gaze Shift Pattern on Athletic Performance
Gaze shifts in sports provide important visual cues for anticipating and adapting to dynamic play situations. Volleyball athletes have been shown to rely heavily on gaze shifts from the ball to the spiker, particularly during blocking. Effective volleyball performance hinges on this gaze behavior, however, gaze shift patterns necessary for blocking success remain unclear. The…
