Perception & Cognition

The primary focus of research and innovation within the axis of Perception and Cognition is to determine WHAT establishes and maintains sensory processes as a scaffold for higher-level functions. WHAT neurobiological mechanisms translate sensory signals into the information that our brains use to make us who we are? WHAT neurobiological mechanisms allow us to perceive, to think, and to create? The Sense discovers the WHAT.

Action & Repair

Intervening to alter the status quo in health, dysfunction and disease is the primary focus of research and innovation within the axis of Action and Repair. WHERE does sensory information operate to transform thoughts into perceptions and actions? WHERE are the access points for repairing dysfunction? WHERE are the limits of neuroplasticity? WHERE is the pathway for rehabilitation? The Sense targets the WHERE.

Devices & Data

Addressing the current and foreseeing the future hardware and software solutions to this question is the primary focus of research and innovation within the axis of Devices and Data. HOW can we better understand human function and dysfunction? HOW can we acquire better measurements and metrics? HOW can we optimize the information available in data and improve their interpretability? The Sense creates the HOW.
