Research Spotlight

Northern Digital Inc.'s motion capture systems are used in many different life sciences research applications. The following highlights some of the research being performed using these systems.

Discovering Neuromuscular Control Mechanisms
The Nebraska Biomechanics Core Facility (NBCF) is a center dedicated to the discovering of the neuromuscular control mechanisms of human movement patterns.

Speech Research and Cerebral Palsy
By simply placing a small sensor on the child's tongue and lips, researchers are able to detect the direction, distance and smoothness of the movements as words are created.

Biomechanics of Long Cane Users
Tracking the biomechanical movements of practiced and novice cane users in order to better understand how their movements change as they become more practiced.

Eye Tracking Goes "3-D" With Optotrak Combined Eye and Head Tracking
The combined and synchronized information from the Optotrak Certus with integrated ASL eye-tracker allows an analyst to determine the 3D coordinate of the subject's point of gaze.
