Research interests and affiliations
My laboratory aims to develop a new generation of intelligent “neuroprostheses”.
We focus on brain-machine interfaces and neuromodulation technologies, with three main objectives:
- open up new avenues of paralysis treatment, directly targeting brain regions responsible for movement control, improving immediate movement performance and long-term functional return;
- use artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize neurostimulation and personalize it for each individual;
- the clinical application of sensory and motor neuroprostheses and learning algorithms for medical devices.

Biography
Prof. Marco Bonizzato is a Control, Electrical and Life Sciences Engineer with over 10 years experience in implatable brain-computer interfaces and neuromodulation technology. He has a unique double expertise in (a) neural prostheses and (b) machine intelligence and optimization.
He is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal and Adjunct Professor of Neurosciences at Université de Montréal.
He is directing the sciNeurotech Lab. The research goal is developing the entire translational arc of new neurostimulation therapies, aiming at restoring sensorimotor function after neurotrauma, from discovery in rodent to application in human medical technology, tailored and personalized to each user by artificial intelligence (AI).
