Reality Labs: Analyzing EMG Signals and hand biomechanics

Meta’s Reality Labs is developing the next generation of human computer interaction systems, with an emphasis on wrist-based EMG. A key step in making this a reality is understanding and deriving relationships between the biomechanics of the hand and EMG signals produced during movement. I spent a few months working as a research intern on this problem designing and fabricating instrumentation, analyzing physiologic and mechanical factors related to hand movement and assessing relationships with EMG signals.
