Researchers from The Hopkins Centre are leading the field in tackling spatial neglect, one of the most mysterious challenges experienced by people with brain injuries. Using an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled virtual reality system, Dr. David Painter, Professor Heidi Zeeman and Professor Trevor Hine recently won Australia's first ever Bionics Queensland Challenge in the category of ‘Neural and AI-Enabled Bionics’.
