Current Openings
VR is widely used to train myoelectric prosthesis control, but skill transfer to real-world tasks remains an open problem. We are exploring a novel feedback paradigm: live visualization of the user’s EMG signal as covariance ellipsoids in a 3D latent space, presented in immersive VR through a head-mounted display.
Tasks:
- Implement the visualization within our MOSAIC + Unity pipeline
- Run a pilot study with able-bodied participants
- Analyze the data and write up the findings
Skills:
- Solid Programming Skills (C#, Python)
- First experience with Unity is beneficial
- Basic ML or signal processing
- Interest in human-subject studies
The thesis will be supervised by Hannah Braun. If interested, apply through the form below.
