Abstract By providing a minuscule distraction to the patient's brain via non-invasive vibrations, Project ATTIS is limits the amount of tremors to the patient's hand, allowing for more control of the fine motor skills and increasing ease in writing, eating, and other daily activities. Its focus is to give patients their hands back rather than assist them in one specific activity.
