In this newsletter, we delve into innovative cognitive rehabilitation research at Kessler Foundation, featuring Dr. Aubree Alexander’s development of KF-PUPIL, a home-based intervention combining caregiver education and an interactive tabletop game to enhance memory and daily living skills after brain injury. We also explore Dr. Silvana Lopes Costa’s pioneering use of eye-tracking technology to reveal cognitive processes in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury, including its breakthrough application as a human-computer interface to improve independence. Central to these advances is the foundational mentorship provided by Dr. Nancy Chiaravalloti and the continued support from prestigious Hearst Fellowships, fueling critical research that shapes the future of rehabilitation science and addresses challenges like aging and neurological impairment.
