TNSRE serves the community of biomedical engineers and clinical researchers who work at the intersection of neuroscience and physical medicine. We publish novel approaches and technologies for better understanding neural systems, human movement, and the relationships between them, with a focus on assistive devices that improve life for patients, for practicing clinicians, and for everyday use.
Philip P. Vu (S’ 17) received a B.S. degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, a M.S.E degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, and is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan.
Mr. Vu is a recipient of the National Science Foundation Fellowship, and his research focuses on extracting peripheral neuro-prosthetic control signals to improve fine motor skills and finger movements.
Loss of the upper limb imposes a devastating interruption to everyday life. Full restoration of natural arm control requires the ability to simultaneously control multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the prosthetic arm and maintain that control over an extended...
