Delsys Prize is now presented by the De Luca Foundation. Please visit www.delucafoundation.org/delsys-prize.
We are proud to announce that the winner of the 14th Annual Delsys Prize for Innovation in Electromyography is Dr. Max Ortiz Catalán of Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.
This is the fourteenth year that we have awarded the Prize and it is the intention of Delsys to continue this annual event in perpetuity. We wish to share with you the great pleasure we have in shepherding the increasing interest in the Prize.
Dr. Catalán winning proposal, titled “Myoelectric pattern recognition and augmented reality for the treatment of Phantom Limb Pain”, was selected from a field of 134 entries from 29 countries. The entries represented a remarkably broad range of interests in diverse areas as Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Signal Processing, Facial EMG, Robotics, Rehabilitation, and various other areas.
It is a great honor to be the recipient of the 2016 Delsys prize and I’m thrilled for being selected by the scientific committee. I’m sure the Delsys prize will be very helpful for the continuation of my research.
