From brain and body to movement - and into real life
We study the neuromechanical foundations of human movement, develop neural and muscular interfaces that connect intention to action, and translate these principles to rehabilitation, everyday mobility, and human performance.

GAIT & BALANCE
Coordination, symmetry, balance, and movement strategies.
Gait Analysis
SENSORIMOTOR ADAPTATION

NEURAL INTERFACES & HMI
From neural intent to physical action
We investigate how neural and muscular signals can be decoded and translated into neuromuscular activation, assistive technologies, and functional movement.
BCI & ROBOTIC MOVEMENT & DEVICE CONTROLL
Neural intent → decoding → assistive movement
myoelectric interface.png
MYOELECTRIC INTERFACES
Muscle signals → intention decoding → bionic control

FUNCTIONAL HMI
Human–machine interfaces evaluated in functional tasks
NEURAL INTENT  →  DECODING  →  NEUROMUSCULAR ACTIVATION  →  TECHNOLOGY  →  FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
TRANSLATION & HUMAN PERFORMANCE
From the lab to real life
The same neuromechanical principles can restore movement, support mobility across the lifespan, and augment human performance.
