ERC Proof of Concept: Helping Children Grasp the World Again
Our prestigious ERC Proof of Concept grant “PlayAgain” just started. For this we are developing a minimally invasive neuromotor interface for children with paralyzed hands following pediatric stroke or hemispherotomy. Building on our discoveries of spared motor neuron activity in paralysis, we will develop gaming-based intention decoding to engage the children in playful rehabilitation. Later […]Our prestigious ERC Proof of Concept grant “PlayAgain” just started.
