About
Mouna Cerra Cheraka is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of virtual reality, haptic robotics, and sensorimotor neuroscience. Her work fundamentally advances our understanding of 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), introduces a groundbreaking VR-haptic robotic setup that successfully reproduces prism adaptation effects—a classic paradigm for studying visuomotor plasticity. This innovation allows for precise, controlled manipulation of sensory feedback, demonstrating that adaptation can occur independently of specific spatial locations or movement patterns. By merging immersive virtual environments with robotic force feedback, Cheraka has created a powerful tool for investigating neural plasticity in healthy individuals and for rehabilitating patients with spatial neglect following brain injury. Her work bridges engineering and cognitive neuroscience, offering scalable, personalized therapeutic interventions. With growing recognition for her methodological rigor and translational impact, Cheraka is shaping the future of neurorehabilitation and embodied cognition research.
