A large group of us (including our favorite lab screwdriver) flew to Fredericton, New Brunswick last week to attend the Myoelectric Controls Symposium (MEC) hosted by the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick.

We spent most of the week in the conference center presenting numerous workshops, talks, and posters, but we still found an afternoon to go kayaking on the beautiful Saint John river. We also especially enjoyed the world renowned lobster dinner and checking out the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Here is a list of all of our papers that were accepted at the conference in case you want to check them out:

• M. Dumba et al. “A Virtual Reality Training Environment For Myoelectric Prosthesis Grasp Control With Sensory Feedback“
• L. Petrich et al. “A preliminary investigation into bio-inspired data collection for transhumeral targeted muscle reinnervation prosthetic control“
• S. Soliman et al. “Effects of Augmented Reality Training on Pattern Recognition Control in Myoelectric Prostheses Users: A Case Study“
• H. E. Williams et al. “Evidence that a deep learning regression-based controller mitigates the limb position effect for an individual with transradial amputation” (1st place student presentation award!)
