As the world ages, elderly care becomes a big concern of the society. To address the elderly's issues on dementia and fall risk, we have investigated smart cognitive and fall risk assessment with machine learning methodology based on the…
Objective: The Electroencephalogram (EEG) is gaining popularity as a physiological measure for neuroergonomics in human factor studies because it is objective, less prone to bias, and capable of assessing the dynamics of cognitive states.…
Stick insect stepping patterns have been studied for insights about locomotor rhythm generation and control, because the underlying neural system is relatively accessible experimentally and produces a variety of rhythmic outputs. Harnessing…
The goal of this thesis is to investigate the potential of predictive modelling for football injuries. This work was conducted in close collaboration with Tottenham Hotspurs FC (THFC), the PGA European tour and the participation of…
In this paper we explore the use of electrical biosignals measured on scalp and corresponding to mental relaxation and concentration tasks in order to control an object in a video game. To evaluate the requirements of such a system in terms…
Hand tracking is an important aspect of human-computer interaction and has a wide range of applications in extended reality devices. However, current hand motion capture methods suffer from various limitations. For instance, visual-based…
Previous work in the area of gesture production, has made the assumption that machines can replicate "human-like" gestures by connecting a bounded set of salient points in the motion trajectory. Those inflection points were hypothesized to…
This work presents a triboelectric nanogenerator-based (TENG) therapeutic stress ball to provide gesture monitoring and physiological data on patients requiring physical therapy of various degrees. The device utilizes a 5-layer stack of…
Practical determination of physical recovery after intense exercise is a challenging topic that must include mechanical aspects as well as cognitive ones because most of physical sport activities, as well as professional activities…
Introduction. Low-cost health monitoring devices are increasingly being used for mental health related studies including stress. While cortisol response magnitude remains the gold standard indicator for stress assessment, a growing number…
We present a novel system for camera-based measurement and visualization of muscle work based on the Hill-Type-Muscle-Model: the exercise exertion muscle-work monitor (\textit{XEM}$^{2}$). Our aim is to complement and, thus, address issues…
The ongoing trend towards Industry 4.0 has revolutionised ordinary workplaces, profoundly changing the role played by humans in the production chain. Research on ergonomics in industrial settings mainly focuses on reducing the operator's…
The motor control problem involves determining the time-varying muscle activation trajectories required to accomplish a given movement. Muscle redundancy makes motor control a challenging task: there are many possible activation…
Work-related upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (WRUED) are a major problem in modern societies as they affect the quality of life of workers and lead to absenteeism and productivity loss. According to studies performed in North…
Predicting and understanding the changes in cognitive performance, especially after a longitudinal intervention, is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. Longitudinal brain stimulation-based interventions like transcranial direct current…
To improve the understanding of human gait and to facilitate novel developments in gait rehabilitation, the neural correlates of human gait as measured by means of non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) have been investigated recently.…
