EMG Traces

Hey, I'm Nitzan

PhD Candidate, Electrical & Computer Engineering • Tel Aviv University

I am a PhD candidate at Tel Aviv University, jointly supervised by Prof. Yael Hanein and Prof. Hava Siegelmann in the Neuro-Engineering Lab. I study naturalistic motor control decoded from high-resolution surface electromyography (sEMG), building estimation and sequence models that recover movement from soft printed electrode array recordings under unconstrained conditions.
My work spans finger joint angle and gesture estimation, real-time low-latency decoding, and decomposing continuous sEMG–IMU recordings into the elementary actions that make up natural movement — aimed at assistive interfaces and movement disorders. This builds on my MSc in computational neuroscience from the Hebrew University, where I studied single-neuron information processing.
