Neuroplasticity, Learning Systems & AI: What Rehab Clinicians Need to Know
DESCRIPTION
This webinar draws parallels between neural networks, motor learning and stroke recovery to help clinicians understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems “learn,” where the analogies hold and where they break down and why human clinicians remain essential in guiding recovery. The focus of this webinar is on translating AI literacy into safer, more effective and more human-centered rehabilitation practice.
