Research Laboratory
The Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory (IRL) is housed within the DIHS. The goal of the IRL is to foster an interdisciplinary research culture through shared resources and collaborative relationships. The IRL provides funding to support new and ongoing research activities and includes a physical space (~2,900 square feet) for meeting and research activities, shared equipment to collect data and answer research questions related to a spectrum of human functions. Equipment in the following areas includes, but is not limited to:
- Neuromuscular and cognitive function (eg, Vicon™ Motion Analysis System with Motion Monitor™ software to capture kinematic data, Noraxon Wireless TeleMyo DTS system, GaitRite gait analysis system, NeuroCom Smart Balance Master with a long force plate and the Dynavision system, for measuring postural stability and vestibular function, GE LOGIQ e diagnostic ultrasound units, electrogoniometers, accelerometers, and hand-held dynamometers);
- Exercise and metabolic function (eg, CosMed portable metabolic system, treadmill, cycle ergometers);
- Biometric function equipment (eg, iMotions software, eye tracking, Galvanic skin conductance, Polar monitors);
- Bioinstrumentation function (eg, Biopac equipment and software, Diagnostic imaging devices, EMG, Blood flow).
