STRIVE Center
Bridging laboratory research to real world applications
Welcome to MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Sensorimotor Technology Realization in Immersive Virtual Environments (STRIVE) Center. The STRIVE Center promotes collaboration among the government, academic, and medical communities on key challenges in clinical rehabilitation, wearable technology development, and advanced operational training. The center’s flagship capability is the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN), which enables the assessment of individuals’ biomechanical, physiological, and cognitive performance as they interact with a fully immersive virtual environment. The facility, approximately 4,000 square feet in size, is operated by the Human Health & Performance Systems Group as an asset available for use by researchers throughout the Laboratory and government to support programs spanning all major mission areas.
