IEEE EMBS International Student Conferences -Insights From 2022 Editions.

Student members within IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) are one of the most active segments among all other membership levels. Student-led initiatives all around the world have shown the necessity to give students the opportunity to present solutions to educational challenges, aiming to make the learning of young people an enriching and continuous experience while honing their organizational skills. IEEE EMBS SAC [1], formed under vice president for member and student activities, has taken the responsibility to initiate and implement programs for undergraduate and graduate student members of the society.

Accurate Continuous Prediction of 14 Degrees of Freedom of the Hand from Myoelectrical Signals through Convolutive Deep Learning.

Natural control of assistive devices requires continuous positional encoding and decoding of the user's volition. Human movement is encoded by recruitment and rate coding of spinal motor units. Surface electromyography provides some information on the neural code of movement and is usually decoded into finger joint angles.

A Generalized Framework for the Study of Spinal Motor Neurons Controlling the Human Hand During Dynamic Movements.

The human hand possesses a large number of degrees of freedom. Hand dexterity is encoded by the discharge times of spinal motor units (MUs). Most of our knowledge on the neural control of movement is based on the discharge times of MUs during isometric contractions.
