About

Matej Rajh is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering. His primary research focus is on the design and development of haptic robotic systems that are compatible with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), enabling the study of human motor control and sensory feedback within neuroimaging environments. Rajh’s most notable contribution is the pioneering design and analysis of an fMRI-compatible haptic robot, detailed in his 2010 paper, which has garnered 8 citations. This work addresses the critical challenge of creating robotic interfaces that can operate safely and without interference within the strong magnetic fields of fMRI scanners, allowing researchers to precisely measure and manipulate tactile and force feedback while simultaneously recording brain activity. By bridging robotics and neuroscience, Rajh’s innovations have opened new avenues for understanding how the brain processes touch and movement, with potential applications in rehabilitation and brain-computer interfaces. His research exemplifies the careful engineering required to merge physical interaction with neural imaging, making him a key figure in the development of tools for cognitive and clinical neuroscience.
