    Neurorehab: An Interface for Rehabilitation
    September 2015- Present
    Abstract: About 1 in 10 of the world population is affected by a disability in some form, amongst whom only 3 in 10 perform the recommended reahab tasks assigned without intervention. We are working on developing an interface to motivate and effectively encourage people. In our work, we leverage the fact that repetitive exercises can help people with motor disabilities due to the robust plasticity of the motor cortex. We investigate the role of repetitive activities for neurorehabilitation with the help of a non-invasive brain computer interface, formulated using immersive game design with Kinect v2.0 and Unity 3D. We also introduce a game design paradigm for dynamic difficulty adjustment for the patients.




    Algorithm Snippets
    Oct 2015- Dec 2015(Project Runs: .html)
    Abstract: Data structures and algorithms are an important
    toolset not only for computer scientists but people from different
    academic backgrounds to achieve faster and quicker implemen-
    tation of their work. We therefore, are working on making
    the algorithms more interactive and intuitive in form of web-
    based client and videos for offline use. These algorithm snippets
    will be pseudo code driven. We will animate step wise solution
    which making it more intuitive for a lay person to understand.
    Algorithm Visualization is very difficult to portray intuitively
    for advanced algorithms and there has not been much work in
    this direction. We will design the framework in such a way that
    it makes understanding an algorithm very easy and intuitive. In
    our work we have focused our attention on Prim’s and Kruskal’s
    implementation of Minimum-Spanning Tree algorithms(MST)
