Organizers


Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)

Bioengineering Group
CSIC

CSIC is the largest public multidisciplinary research organisation in Spain. The Bioengineering Group has long term expertise in managing human-machine interaction, HMI (a basic element in MNP and NR devices for restoring physical impairment). In cognitive HMI, CSIC has particular expertise in algorithms for processing bioelectrical activity (EEG, EMG) and biomechanical information (IMUs). In the area of physical HMI, CSIC has developed several functional compensation systems (tremor, gait support, assistance to CP kids) based on robot-human interaction.
