Big congratulations to Luke Osborn for being named a Siebel Scholar!

Two biomedical engineering graduate students named Siebel Scholars Biomedical engineering PhD students John Hickey and Luke Osborn have been named Siebel Scholars for 2019, an annual award that recognizes nearly 100 of the top graduate students from universities across the nation who are studying in the fields of business, bioengineering, computer science, and ener...

Congratulations to our lab alumnus, Damini Agarwal, for receiving her second Google Leadership Award, which will involve her with Google's network of emerging leaders in today's world!

Undergraduate BME Christopher Shallal traveled to the 40th International Conference of IEEE EMBS in Honolulu, Hawaii last week to present the adaptive socket team's paper, titled "Dynamically Mapping Socket Loading Conditions During Real Time Operation of an Upper Limb Prosthesis". The paper was co-authored by Jonathan Fu, Harrison Nguyen, William Kim and Jasmine Cho, all undergraduates in the lab!

Hear Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering graduate student Luke Osborn talk about some of our latest work with Frank Stasio on "The State of Things" on WUNC.

Ouch! What Is Pain, And What Is It Good For? Researchers have developed a new part for a prosthetic hand: a synthetic skin that can feel pain. The electronic dermis, or “e-dermis,” fits over the

Nice coverage on some of our recent work. Thanks IEEE Spectrum!

A Prosthetic That Feels Pain Electronic receptors mimic the ability of human skin to sense pain and pressure

Our paper on a neuromorphic multilayered e-dermis for pain detection in a prosthesis is out now in Science Robotics.

Prosthesis with neuromorphic multilayered e-dermis perceives touch and pain The human body is a template for many state-of-the-art prosthetic devices and sensors. Perceptions of touch and pain are fundamental components of our daily lives that convey valuable information about our environment while also providing an element of protection from damage to our bodies. Advances....

Our recent paper on using adaptive sparse representations for improving myoelectric prosthesis control is featured on IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng.'s website: https://goo.gl/2Co8FM! Read the full paper here: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7956176/

Limb Position Tolerant Pattern Recognition for Myoelectric Prosthesis Control with Adaptive Sparse Representations from Extreme Learning Classification algorithms used to predict intended movements of an amputee for upper-limb prosthesis control using EMG signals must tolerate changes in limb position and loads which affect those signals. Extreme Adaptive Sparse Representation Classification (EASRC) significantly outperforms other cl...

"I am a masters student who is interested in the study of electrode interface to measure surface Electromyography (sEMG) and its signal source in people with upper limb amputations. My work involves developing an electrode interface for EMG signal source optimization to improve performance of upper limb Myoelectric control systems."
