Myoelectric Control and Neural Decoding

Efforts to develop brain machine interfaces, be they invasive or noninvasive, are often challenged by the need to maximize decoding accuracy while minimizing computational complexity. Our lab develops real-time neural decoding strategies that can be used to estimate kinematic properties of human movement. Our most recent efforts have centered on the use of residual muscle activity in the amputated limb to continuously predict the control of lower limb prostheses to provide natural movement across tasks (walking, stairs, etc.).
