- Go ahead to start your project accordingly!
- It takes too long to research equipment.
- You can group ordering and shipping together.
- The granularity of "Research Muscles and Nerves" needs to be reduced by dividing them into sub-tasks.
- There are many overlapping tasks. You need to assign resource in order to see whether it is feasible.

RE: Initial Planning & Coordination
Project Description & Merits
Describe the project in your own words and list the possible
contribution your project can have to advance the field of STEM or solve
societal problems.
Description
Mimicking muscular electrical signals by recording the
electrical impulse from the action of one person and translating that to
another person’s arm.
Contribution
- Perform surgery if doctor is not there
- Learning to play an instrument
- Recording electrical signal from muscle
- What's the purpose/application of recording electrical signals from muscle?
- Brainstorm more about the potential applications of this technology?
Group/Team Communication
Who will be involved in your project (team) and relevant
projects (group)? How to communicate effectively with each other? What are the
tools for project collaboration?
Group members
- Julian Wexer
- Lithu Muralee
How to Communicate
Effectively
- Text and Message one another
- Clearly outline goals
Tools for
Collaboration
- Splitting up work
- Tools such as Google doc, Git Hub, etc.
Prior Work/Resource Inventory
Go to the Project Resource website to review
the current resource and prior work. Update the page.
- Need more study about the prior work in this fields, and post them in the Resource page.
Technology Analysis
Identify the scientific and technical knowledge/skills
involved in your project.
- Teamwork (e.g., Git Hub)
- Problem solving
- Coding (which language? which IDE?)
- Biology (e.g., structure and stimulation mechanism of the nerve cells)
- Muscle structure (and neural structure, especially the upper arm and hand)
- Electric signals (especially neural signals)
- EMG device and its operation principles
- TENS device and its operation principles
- Needs to be more specific.
Competence
Identify skill sets, technical competence in your group, and
list the missing ones which need to be acquired.
- Teamwork
- Problem solving
- Basic knowledge of human anatomy
Safety
Identify any safety issues regarding the build, use, store,
and dispose of materials and tools
- Wrong electrical signal
- Electrical wires
- Glitch
- Needs to pay special attention to the safety restrictions of Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation (TENS) signals, and the process of apply the signals to human.
Equipment, materials & budget
List the key materials and equipment required for your
project. Identify the key items needed to be purchased and their prices
- Electrodes
- EMG device
- Gel
- TENS device

Schedule
What are the goals/milestones/plans of your project in the
next week? What are the task assignments for each team member?
Goals for next
week
Get a lot of information on the devices we need to carry our
research - Lithu and Julian
- Needs to be much more specific, including detailed tasks, schedule, resource, etc.
