Students of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music have created a unique cybersuit to teach people complex motor skills. The new product can be a tool for developing muscle memory when learning to play new instruments and for restoring successful musicians after injuries. About this reports TASS reported with reference to the press service of the Priority 2030 program of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
The wearable neural interface supports the effective acquisition of motor skills through neural monitoring and pseudo-functional electrical stimulation. The project included the creation and completion of a quest in virtual reality that allows you to reproduce tactile sensations with up to 85% accuracy. Also, an experiment on the transfer of motor skills in drumming was successfully completed.
Cybersuit will be one of the first projects of the applied research and development laboratory of the Center for Development of Creative Competencies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where teams from various universities, scientific organizations and companies representing the real sector develop unique products at the intersection of various types of art and other branches of knowledge.
The Gnessin Russian Academy of Music plans to conduct a joint study with the Center for Bioelectric Interfaces of the National Research University of Economics and the Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnology of the Russian Federal Agency for Medicine and Biology on the effectiveness of neurostimulation in music pedagogy. It is also planned to create digital copies of motor skills of outstanding teachers of the academy in 2024.
