Electronics integrated to the muscle via `Kirigami`
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

A research team in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering and EIIRIS at Toyohashi University of Technology has developed a donut-shaped kirigami device for EMG recordings. The proposed device reduces device displacement on a large deformable muscle surface. Accurate and robust EMG recordings offer EMG signal-based human-machine interfaces that allow prosthesis control for amputees. The results of their research were published in an issue of Advanced Healthcare Materials on December 5, 2019. The article also appeared on the inside back cover.
