• Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC

  Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) is the largest public multidisciplinary research organisation in Spain. It has considerable experience in both participating and managing R&D projects and training grants. Within the TREMOR project CSIC, will be represented by the Bioengineering Group. CSIC is a scientific research centre oriented to obtaining new knowledge and technologies in the field of processes, systems and advanced strategies of measurement, inspection, control and actuation.

  In the framework of TREMOR, CSIC acts as project coordination institution and technical developer in those aspects related to control strategies for tremor suppression (WP6), signal processing in BCI systems (WP4) as well as design and prototyping of TREEMOR subsystems (WP3) and its integration (WP7).

• Aalborg University, AAU

  Aalborg University is represented in this project by the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction (SMI) in the Department of Health Science and Technology. The dedication of SMI is to apply biomedical engineering principles to the study of human sensory-motor interactions under normal and pathophysiological conditions.

  AAU leads the development of the EEG, EMG, IMU multi-channel recording and FES system (WP3) in cooperation with UNA. AAU will also contribute to developing the BCI system (WP4) in those aspects related to EMG processing as well as in the optimization of FES through a rule-based FES controller.

• Technaid S.L., TCN

  Technaid S.L. is a spin-off company of Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the largest research organization in Spain. Its business segment (branch of economic activity) is in Engineering services in biomechanical and physiological monitoring systems and in Technical Aids for the Disabled and Elderly.Amongst the manufactured and/or commercialized products, it is worth highlighting a set of Accessibility tools (computers, wheelchairs…) for people affected by motion disorders, in particular tremor.

  TCN leads the exploitation of TREMOR results (WP9). For this task, industrial partners (STEX and UNA) contribute in those possible spin-off exploitable results. Dissemination will be coordinated by CSIC with all project partners. TCN will also lead the integration of TREMOR results intpo the active garment (WP7). For this activity, the support of STEX and UNA is stressed.
