The lab conducts research into using intracortical brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) 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 novel applications for BCIs and using computational neuroscience to better understand motor control.
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 had the opportunity to perform the first in-human, temporary implantation of a high-capacity brain-computer interface by Paradromics - a big step forward in BCI innovation. Check out the video:
