The National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) established a multi-center network of sites that are working together to design clinical intervention protocols and measures of outcome for TBI. Through rigorous patient evaluation, using common protocols and interventions designed for multiple points of care����??including the accident scene, emergency room, intensive care unit, rehabilitation and long-term follow-up����??the NCMRR TBI Clinical Trials Network can study the required numbers of patients to provide answers more rapidly than individual centers acting alone. This interdisciplinary research Network is designed to evaluate the relationship among acute care practice, rehabilitation strategies, and the long-term functional outcome of TBI patients����??that is, to identify which intervention variables result in improvements in long-term outcomes. Taking advantage of the network model structure has allowed TBI research to progress toward a number of clinical research goals. Specifically, the NCMRR wants to highlight two major achievements to date. First, the TBI Network created a profile of its typical patient to determine the number of patients with different clinical features who might be eligible for future studies and to help estimate recruitment times necessary. Second, Network researchers are developing clinical treatment guidelines and procedures for all points in the continuum of care, including TBI Clinical Trials Network Guidelines for surgical care, systems-based protocol for severe and moderate TBI patients, deep-vein thrombosis prophylaxis procedures, and rehabilitation guidelines for physical therapy, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and neuropsychology.

This portal describes Professor Kitaoka Akiyoshi''s research in the science of visual illusions. Working as an associate professor at the Ritsumeiken University, Department of Psychology, he is one of the few researchers in Japan to be actively researching in this field of study. Professor Kitaoka defines an illusion as a misperception of a real object, adding that defining what is real is a difficult task that depends on recognition and epistemology. An illusion is formed when the perceived characteristics of the object differ from the physical characteristics. Professor Kitaoka first started studying visual illusions when working at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Neuroscience, before coming to RU. He currently researches geometrical, color, lightness, and motion illusions and visual completion, and has become a prominent expert in the field, publishing a wide range of articles on the subject as well as the popular books Trick Eyes, Trick Eyes 2, Trick Eyes Graphics, and the Handbook of the Science of Illusion. To create his illusions, Professor Kitaoka uses graphic design software such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, and the drawing software included in Microsoft Word in addition to making use of programming languages like Borland Delphi (Pascal). All of the images set out to test hypotheses that serve to advance his study of illusions and their applications for other visual functions. The goal of his research is to test visual mechanisms through visual illusions.

The 16 affiliated Model System centers throughout the United States are responsible for gathering and submitting the core data set to the national database as well as conducting research studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI) both in collaboration with the other centers and within our own site. Through our research we hope to learn more about TBI and about the issues and concerns of people with TBI. Our goals are to improve the outcome and quality of life for people who have had brain injuries and for those who are caring for the person with a TBI. The North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (NT-TBIMS) pools the efforts and talents of individuals from the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatry (Neuropsychiatry), and Neuroradiology of the two leading medical institutions in the North Texas region. To be a patient involved in the research being conducted by the North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System you must have suffered a TBI, be at least 16 years of age, have received initial treatment for the TBI at either Parkland Health and Hospital System or Baylor University Medical Center and then have received rehabilitative care at either Parkland, University Hospital Zale-Lipshy, or Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation. The patient must also be able to understand and sign an informed consent to participate or, if unable, have a family member or a legal guardian who understands the form sign the informed consent for the patient.
