Magnetic muscle tracking could improve prosthetic limb control, MIT study suggests
Researchers report that tiny implanted magnets can offer more accurate and stable control signals than electrodes
MIT researchers report that pairs of tiny magnets implanted in muscles can offer more accurate and stable control signals than standard electrode-based measurements. In a study published today in Nature Sensors, three people with below-knee amputations used the technique, known as magnetomicrometry, to move a cursor on a screen.
