About
Karin dos Santos is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and biomedical engineering, with a particular focus on understanding brain activity during motor recovery. Her most-cited study, "Using Functional near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess brain activity of spinal cord injury patient, during robot-assisted gait" (2018), has garnered 8 citations and exemplifies her key contribution: applying fNIRS technology to map cortical responses in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) during robotic gait training. This work is notable for demonstrating how non-invasive neuroimaging can reveal neural plasticity and adaptation in real-world rehabilitation contexts. By combining fNIRS with robot-assisted gait, dos Santos has helped bridge the gap between neural monitoring and therapeutic intervention, offering insights into how the brain reorganizes after injury. Her research is particularly impactful for clinicians and engineers developing personalized rehabilitation protocols, as it provides a window into the brain’s role in motor recovery. Though her citation count is modest, her work is foundational for emerging studies on brain-computer interfaces and neurofeedback in SCI rehabilitation, marking her as a promising voice in translational neuroscience.
