VR for Behavioral Change
In the first 8 months of the project we were able to establish a proof-of-concept showing a high resolution, wireless surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings during VR engagement combined with eye-tracking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a system capable of recording internal states during a VR task. Figure 1 shows the 16 channel wireless facial EMG with the VR headset on a participant face.

Identification of intraperitoneal free cancer cells
Intra-abdominal malignancies often result in intraperitoneal free cancer cells (IPCCs), which increase the chances of cancer spreading to distal organs, and serve as an important prognostic tool in cancers such as ovarian and gastric cancers. Curative treatments based on intraperitoneal chemotherapy often have effective outcomes, however, the time between IPCC sampling and detection is critical, currently taking weeks to reach a conclusion
