This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a collaborative research project between researchers in the United States and France to elucidate the neuromuscular mechanisms that enable human movement control and physical interactions with the environment. The $272,000 award, with a project period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2029, will fund the development and testing of a novel theory of neuromuscular control. This work integrates an optimal control framework, a computationally efficient muscle model, and experimental validation to better understand how the human brain and body coordinate force, impedance, and feedback control during physical interactions. The research aims to advance foundational neuroscience, enhance the design of wearable robotics and assistive technologies, and inform innovative approaches to neurorehabilitation. The project also promotes international collaboration and provides training opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
