Scholar-generated biography
Kianoush Nazarpour is a Professor of Digital Health at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Movement and Rehabilitation, Digital Health, Neuroprosthetics, and Myoelectric control. His research focuses on enhancing prosthetic hand control through the integration of myoelectric and inertial measurements, as well as the application of deep learning for grasp classification. He explores the combined influence of forearm orientation and muscular contraction on EMG pattern recognition and investigates artificial vision and proprioceptive feedback for improved myoelectric control. His work also includes the development of miniaturized magnetic sensors for implantable magnetomyography and the evaluation of regression methods for continuous decoding of finger movement from EMG and accelerometry.
