ExoRehab Spotlights 2018 Symposium
Photo report from the international symposium ExoRehab Spotlights 2018 that took place on December 5 in Moscow.
Researchers of the Center for Bioelectric Interfaces Nikolai Smetanin, Aleksandra Kuznetsova and Alexei Ossadtchi presented Russia's first EEG-based neural interface that uses lower limb motor imagery for exoskeleton control. Alexei Ossadtchi also made a presentation "BCI for walk decoding".
This work has been done in collaboration with the Russian company ExoAtlet and Denis Lyovin who had volunteered to pilot the exoskeleton.
