The purpose of our research is to improve human neurologic health and function through the integration of engineered devices into living systems. The research goal is to advance the field of Neural Engineering in three specific areas:
Clinical implementation of neural prosthesis systems. Research projects include:
• Sensation and human-in-the-loop control for amputees
• Neuro-inspired stimulation paradigms
• Spinal cord stimulation for pain management
• Peripheral nerve electrodes to restore function following spinal cord injury
Advanced devices to improve extraction of information from and activation of the human nervous system
Neuromimetic interfaces between neural tissue and engineered devices
