TAKEOFF Seed Fund Awarded Projects Researchers from the Department of Systems and Control Engineering and the Centre for Biomedical Cybernetics have been performing research in brain-computer interfacing for several years. Their recent work led to a real-time brain-controlled music player which received widespread international interest and recognition. The group, made up of Rosanne Zerafa, Tracey Camilleri, Owen Falzon and Kenneth Camilleri, has now been awarded seed funding from the TAKEOFF Seed Fund to develop a product prototype of this brain-controlled device with the objective of making brain control more accessible. Further information about the group's research may be found at: http://www.um.edu.mt/eng/sce/research/biomedical/braincomputer interfacing Chest wall reconstruction surgery is a common procedure, in which a portion of the patient's chest wall is removed. This operation is mostly used to treat cancer invading the lungs or ribs. This project, which is carried out in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy, concerns the further development, testing and ultimately commercialisation of an artificial rib bridge, in order to safely and effectively reconstruct chest wall defects.
