Dr. Maria Vinti, Senior Clinical Research Manager, Mindmaze, will present her work on: From the Real to the Virtual: Why and How?

Talk Summary: Surface EMG recordings and their analysis provide a powerful neurophysiological technique to identify health and pathological status of the motor system and quantify the effectiveness of treatment strategies. In this presentation I will share with you my experience as a clinician and researcher. The focus will be on EMG contribution and its relevance to clinical problems, especially when EMG is combined with virtual reality and gaming technologies. The potential of these combined technologies for the development of new devices, clinical applications and techniques for more efficient and personalized treatment of motor disorders will be discussed from my perspective as a researcher, clinician, and engineer in the private and public sectors.
