Dr. Elliot Cole is the founder of the Institute for Cognitive Prosthetics. He brings his training in human-centered computing to developing technology and techniques that address cognitive disabilities from brain injury. The Institutes successful R&D efforts came from a multidisciplinary staff from clinical and computing specialties working closely together and focusing on the rehabilitation needs of the individual patient. This approach has generated deep knowledge of the cognitive disabilities computing domain. For over a decade, the Institute had a ""lab"" brain injury cognitive rehabilitation facility. Dr. Cole was an associate professor at Drexel University and a research associate at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is currently a Visiting Scholar.
