A simple color cue helps people learn to use prosthetic devices
Copied from:https://actu.epfl.ch/news/a-simple-color-cue-helps-people-learn-to-use-pro-2/ Researchers at EPFL show that fewer than 20 training trials with real-time success/failure feedback can significantly improve how people control prostheses, rehabilitation devices, and other motor interfaces. Controlling a robotic arm, a prosthetic hand, or a rehabilitation device is harder than it looks. Picking up an egg, for example, requires just the right […]
