Restoring mobility in individuals with motor impairments is one of the most ambitious goals in neurorehabilitation. At the intersection of neuroscience, machine learning, and assistive robotics, we are developing Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) that can decode motor intentions from brain signals (EEG), even when data is limited, noisy, or imbalanced. Here’s what makes this research innovative:…
