The course will guide students through the user-centered development and evaluation process of a medical engineering system for arm movement support. It will introduce the fundamentals of data acquisition, signal processing and control engineering, complemented by hands-on experience with sensors/signals, actuators, signal processing, feedforward/feedback control as well as design.

This course provides hands-on experience with measurement and analysis methods relevant for Humans Systems Neuroscience and Motor control (EEG, ECG, pupillometry, psycho-physical paradigms, nerve/brain stimulation, EMG, etc). Students read scientific material, set up experiments, perform measurements in the lab, analyse data, apply statistics and write short reports or essays.
