We invited a special guest for our week 7 — Dr. Betsy Coker.
Excitedly, friends from the Dance Department also joined for this session with IDM and ITP students!
Dancer, dance-maker, scientist, and teacher Elizabeth (Betsy) Coker introduced principles of clinical neuroscience, biomechanics, and motion capture technologies to question how we conceive of our bodies, who authors body representations in scientific research, and the empirical and creative implications of objectivity.

Week 5 Special Guest: MoCap for Parkinson Patients
This week, we invited a special guest — Russell. It was such a meaningful experience for us to learn about how can we apply motion capture technology into helping people with special mobility need.
Illustration: Ratna Sagar Shrestha/THT About Our Guest:
At Mickey’s, we’re building products that can help movement disorders patients walk more efficiently. Our first product in development is a pair of compression shorts with sensors and actuators built into each leg of the garment.
By monitoring the user’s gait and delivering a vibrotactile pulse at regular intervals during the user’s stride, our product provides an external cue that affords increased mobility to Parkinson’s disease patients.
