Nonlinear Analysis Core

The Nonlinear Analysis (NONAN) Core Facility is a unique resource dedicated to discovering and investigating the rich patterns found in human movement and physiology. NONAN’s mission is to provide researchers with innovative analytic tools that go way beyond looking at averages. Our NONAN Core Library is an evolving software suite that shows researchers and industry teams how movements and physiological processes change over time.

NONAN Core Services

• Access to “tried and true” and cutting-edge nonlinear analysis tools
• Assistance in experimental design
• Custom nonlinear analysis software
• Data processing
• Interpretation and dissemination of results
• Statistical analysis (e.g., regression, ANOVA, linear mixed effects modeling, structural equation modeling)
• Validation studies
• The Core is also actively exploring and validating new techniques and algorithms for the next generation of nonlinear analysis.

Personnel

• Dr. Aaron Likens, Core Director
• Mr. Benjamin Senderling, Core Coordinator
• Mr. Louis Nodskov, Student Worker
• Mr. Hamood Al Kindi, Student Worker

Resources

We are experts in the following methods. These methods can be performed with the Nonlinear Analysis Core Library of code to perform these methods can be found here.

Annual Nonlinear Analysis Workshop

Every year the Core holds a workshop centered on the nonlinear analysis of human movement. Its purpose is to introduce research scientists, clinicians, educators and students to a variety of nonlinear methods. For more information please visit the Workshop’s webpage.

Initiate Work with the Core
