Devices in which movement can be actuated by leveraging electrical signals generated by patterns of thought have great potential to help people with high-level amputations, spinal damage, or severe muscle atrophy.  

​

This video highlights testing in which we used facial expressions to actuate movement in a 3D-printed robotic finger.

Myoelectricity!

We can also leverage electrical signals produced when we contract our muscles to cause movement in robotic prosthetics... or in other people!  Watch this lecture video to learn how to (with consent) you can take control of another person's hand!
