Chair of Neuromuscular Physiology and Neural Interfacing, Department Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering

We study how our nervous system controls muscle forces. Our research is within the neurophysiological and neuro-engineering framework and aims at providing accurate and robust applications for human/machine interfaces and neurophysiological investigations. Our end goal is to restore motor function in paralyzed individuals and to identify biomarkers of neuroplasticity.

Research projects

  • Neuromuscular control of the human hand
  • Decoding large (>thousands) populations of spinal motoneurons
  • Hybrid interface with cortical and spinal motoneurons
  • The effect of training and neurorehabilitation on behaviour of spinal and cortical motoneuro
