Tej Mehta, a PhD student in the Rehabilitation Sciences program at NYU, will present at the Medical Rehabilitation Research Resource (MR3) Network’s 4th Annual Scientific Retreat. This year’s retreat's theme is "Catalyzing Transdisciplinary Research to Develop Innovative Rehabilitation Approaches with Lasting Impacts."
Tej will discuss the rationale for the methodologies and implications of the emerging results of an ongoing cross-disciplinary study exploring the neural basis of rehabilitation outcomes with Virtual Reality (VR). This collaborative research between the Physical Therapy Sensorimotor Laboratory and Medical Robotics and Interactive and Intelligent Technologies (MERIIT) Laboratory at NYU aims to explain the effectiveness of VR and potentially facilitate rehabilitation research and clinical translation of VR.
