Gene Tunik is the director for AI + Health at the Institute for Experiential AI, as well as the Associate Dean of Research and Innovation and is a faculty member in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences with adjunct appointments in the departments of Bioengineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering. He directs the Laboratory for Movement Neuroscience in the Department of Physical Therapy, Movement, and Rehabilitation Science.
Tunik’s research focuses on the study of human neural control of movement. More specifically, he looks at dextrous control of the hand as it relates to cognitive-perceptual-motor processes in virtual reality applications, human and human-robot interactions, and neurorehabilitation. His lab work includes motion capture, physiological recording, virtual reality and robotic technology, non-invasive brain stimulation, and computational modeling techniques.
