The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.

Why is an EMG wearable so exciting? It’s an equitable technology for human-computer interactions that just works, even if you have hand paralysis, tremor, and more.

Proud of this research portfolio and our talented network of research teams:
