Had meeting with the group in CRC level 3 Kitchenette (the BN5104 lecture got cancelled). Ni Jun and Yixiang seemed to have overlooked the last meeting minutes, prepared on retinal implants, wanted the group to work on that. Rest of the group disagreed, had a debate, finally decided to work on BCI controlled neuroprosthetic arm.
Group thought of 4 sections for the neuroprosthetic device. I chose to learn about the physiology of the arm, what goes wrong in the arm of a paralytic patient, and how different muscles and nerves coordinate in the arm. Surprisingly, Ni Jun wanted to join me for this part.
Went to the library in the evening, borrowed the Martini book, and got bewildered by the medical jargon. Somehow managed to find that there are 4 major nerves in the hand, innervating more than 20 muscles. I guess i will just share this with others tomorrow in the meeting. Wonder what Ni Jun did.
Met Lei Yang in her lab in after 2000+. She showed me some lecture notes of JHU on spine motor system. She thinks it would be useful to her to explain how her freehand works. I asked her to upload the document into the IVLE community workbin. Later, she confided in me that she doesn't like PBL very much, as it is consuming her time from research. I could empathise with her.
Am too tired now, want to write a lot. Adios for now.
