EMGRoll | Intuitive wheelchair control
Intutive control of wheelchairs using high-resolution muscle signals This study is about developing and testing a smarter way to control an electric wheelchair. EMGRoll combines two key elements: muscle-signal-based wheelchair control and smart wheelchair support. The user gives movement intentions through small muscle signals from the legs, while the wheelchair uses its sensors to understand […]Intutive control of wheelchairs using high-resolution muscle signals This study is about developing and testing a smarter way to control an electric wheelchair.

GraspAgain | Restoring Hand Function
A non-invasive peripheral neural interface enables the intuitive control of assistive devices This study is about giving paralyzed people back control over their limbs — with the help of technical aids in the form of neuro-orthoses. The basic idea: movement in the body is controlled by what are known as motor neurons. These are nerve […]

Children’s University at n-squared lab
As part of the FAU Children’s University, around 40 children visited the n-squared lab in two sessions for the lecture “When Your Brain Talks to Your Muscles”. There, they discovered how movements in the body are controlled when the brain and muscles communicate with each other, and how these normally invisible signals can be made […]
