Project Grant 2113485

The Research Foundation For The State University of New York (RFSUNY), on behalf of Stony Brook University, was awarded a three-year, $399,869 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop Bayesian-centric multimodal hands-free computer interaction technologies for people with quadriplegia. The grant aims to foster innovation in engineering research to improve quality of life. Specifically, researchers at Stony Brook University will work to advance technologies that enable individuals with quadriplegia to control computers and interact digitally without the use of hands through Bayesian-centric multimodal approaches incorporating computer vision, machine learning and other sensing modalities. The project will be performed in Stony Brook, New York from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024.
