Active Touch projects
Augmented reality music ensemble ARME
Find out more about ARMEThe A.R.M.E. project has been funded by the EPSRC ((EPSRC PI: DiLuca) 2021-2025). It has the goal of understanding how musicians synchronise to each other and build a computational model that can reproduce the musician’s behaviour. This understanding will allow the creation of a music training tool where believable virtual musicians will play together with the user.
Adaptive Touch Testing
Explore the project websiteClinical testing of touch typically involves manual application of test stimuli. With a BBSRC grant (BBSRC IAA Pathfinder PI: Wing 2022-2024), the Sensory Motor Neuroscience (SyMoN) Lab and Obi Robotics are developing an automated approach based on continuously varying stimulus intensity or frequency for assessing touch discrimination ability. Discrimination difficulty is adjusted adaptively up or down to yield 75% correct performance.
