The lab conducts research into using implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) as a potential therapy for people with severe speech and motor disabilities.
Our research focuses on developing multi-effector control for fine motor movements and digital interfaces using non-linear decoding algorithms and novel approaches to account for neural instability.
We are also exploring using BCIs as a speech neuroprosthesis and to better understand motor neuroscience.
BCI Clinical Trials: Information about BCI clinical trials is available here.
Thrilled to announce our recent work published in Nature Medicine: A high-performance brain–computer interface for finger decoding and quadcopter game control in an individual with paralysis
We recently temporarily implanted a novel high-density microelectrode array in a person undergoing epilepsy resection surgery. Read more here or check out the video below:
We are planning to expand by 1 PhD graduate student of postdoctoral researcher this Spring (see more here).
