Overview
About the programme
The focus of the Empatho-Kinaesthetic Sensory Systems programme at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is on capturing human motion parameters remotely in a minimally disturbing and non-invasive manner and with very high resolution.
The physiological and behavioural states underlying the motion pattern are then reconstructed algorithmically from this data, using biomechanical, neuromotor, and psychomotor body function models.
The sensors, body function models, and the inversion of mechanisms of action establish a link between the internal biomedical body layers and the outer biomedical technology layers. Research into this link is highly innovative and extraordinarily complex, and many of its facets have not been investigated so far.
Programme Structure
Research areas include:
- Contactless sensors for recording motion parameters and vital function
