About
Dr. Meytal Wilf is a leading researcher at the intersection of virtual reality, haptic robotics, and sensorimotor neuroscience. Her work focuses on how the brain adapts to altered sensory feedback, with profound implications for both basic science and clinical rehabilitation. Her most cited study, "Combined virtual reality and haptic robotics induce space and movement invariant sensorimotor adaptation" (2020, 16 citations), introduced a groundbreaking VR-haptic robotic setup that enables prism adaptation—a classic method for studying visuomotor plasticity—without the constraints of physical prisms. This innovation allows for space- and movement-invariant adaptation, offering a powerful new tool for rehabilitating patients with spatial neglect following brain injury. By demonstrating that sensorimotor learning can be induced flexibly in virtual environments, Wilf’s work bridges immersive technology and neurorehabilitation. Her contributions are shaping how we understand neural plasticity and design adaptive therapies, making her a key figure in the future of technology-driven motor recovery.
