Research areas description
The laboratory develops intelligent neuroprostheses to restore motor function after paralysis. It explores neural interfaces and neuromodulation from fundamental research to clinical application. The work combines neuroengineering, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. The goal is to optimize and personalize neurostimulation therapies for each patient.
