New Insights into Motor Unit Control of Hand Movements
Our latest paper reveals high neural specificity in how motor units are recruited for single- and multidigit hand tasks. By combining 3D hand kinematics with high-density EMG recordings, the study shows that only a small fraction of motor units are active across both task types, highlighting the precision of neural control in hand movements.Read the […]

Congratulations to Vlad Cnejevici for finishing his Master’s Thesis!
We congratulate Vlad Cnejevici on completing his master’s thesis titled “Comparative Analysis and Optimization of AI models for Hand Movement Estimation using HD-sEMG”! Estimating the hand position reliably from surface Electromyography signals is of utmost importance to any prosthesis or exoskeleton user in regaining his independence in daily life. For this reason, Vlad investigated the […]We congratulate Vlad Cnejevici on completing his master’s thesis titled “Comparative Analysis and Optimization of AI models for Hand Movement Estimation using HD-sEMG”!
