Two research papers published by Brown and MIT researchers last month focus on the possibility of employing improved muscle tracking technology to advance prosthetics. Magnetomicrometry, the technique ...

Researchers have developed a bioelectrical sensor that is convenient and low-cost. The sensor measures electromyography signals that are generated in muscles when they contract and are useful for ...

If you would like to track your muscle growth more accurately you might be interested in a new data driven training improvement system called FITTO. Launched via Indiegogo the project has already ...

Whether you want to build a computer interface device, or control a prosthetic hand, having some idea of a user’s finger movements can be useful. The OpenMuscle finger tracking sensor can offer the ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Using a simple set of magnets, MIT researchers have come up with a sophisticated way to monitor muscle movements, which they hope will make it easier for people with amputations to ...
