About
Christopher J. Hasson is a leading researcher in sensorimotor control, rehabilitation robotics, and the manipulation of complex dynamic systems. His work bridges fundamental motor control principles with practical applications in neurorehabilitation. Hasson’s most cited paper, “Rhythmic Manipulation of Objects with Complex Dynamics: Predictability over Chaos” (61 citations), challenges traditional discrete-task studies by revealing how humans exploit predictability when continuously interacting with nonlinear objects. He has pioneered the use of virtual and robotic systems to understand how therapists and patients learn to shape movement, as seen in his work on internal representations for locomotor training and telerobotic embodiment for rehabilitation. Hasson’s 2023 paper on neurorehabilitation robotics critically examines the balance of control between therapists and machines, questioning why robotic devices have not yet outperformed conventional therapy. He has also developed innovative tools like myoelectric musculoskeletal models and interactive simulators to disentangle neural and muscular contributions to movement disorders. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating basic science into clinical practice, Hasson’s research is shaping the future of human–machine interaction in rehabilitation.
