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.
Ali Shafti received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in microelectronics engineering from Shahid Beheshti University and Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran respectively. He is a Ph.D. degree candidate at the Centre for Robotics Research (CoRe), King’s College London, U.K. His research interests include human–robot interaction, wearable technologies, and biomedical instrumentation. His Ph.D. research involves the design and creation of wearable sensors and techniques for objective assessment of human factors, as well as the creation of human–robot interaction protocols based on active monitoring, and continuous improvement of human comfort and ergonomics during human–robot collaboration.
Muscle activity monitoring or Electromyography (EMG) is a useful tool. However, EMG is typically invasive, expensive and difficult to use for untrained users. A possible solution is textile-based surface EMG (sEMG) integrated into clothing as a wearable device. This is,...
