Research Areas

Assistive Communication

Assistive Communication

Neuroengineering intuitive, powerful solutions for people with locked-in syndrome - the inability to move and to speak despite being fully awake and alert, due to brainstem injury or ALS.

Movement Restoration

Movement Restoration

Reimagining fully implanted neuroprosthetics for people with cervical spinal cord injury or brainstem stroke, where the movement signals from the brain have been “disconnected” from the limb.

Neuroscience

Neuroscience

Together with our incredible research participants, harnessing the rare opportunity provided by chronic intracortical recordings to better understand how the human brain works.

Neurotechnology

Neurotechnology

Identifying and overcoming today's neuroengineering challenges to create tomorrow's practical, chronic, multichannel neural recording systems for research and for human clinical neural interfaces.

Neurotherapeutics

Neurotherapeutics

Harnessing the power of high resolution recordings to understand and develop new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of epilepsy.

Speech Restoration

Speech Restoration

Discovering the neural signals responsible for speech production and generating advanced decoding algorithms to restore fluent communication for people who have lost the ability to speak.
