Table of Contents:
  • Describe a framework for replacing damaged cortical tissue and fostering circuit integration to restore neurological function
  • Build a smart prosthesis that will grow with a child (such as a heart valve or cerebral shunt, or a self-healing prosthesis)
  • Develop a smart prosthetic that can learn better and/or faster
  • Brain interfacing with materials: recording and stimulation electrodes
  • Refine technologies to create active orthotic devices
  • Structural tissue interfaces: enabling and enhancing continual maintenance and adaptation to mechanical and biologic factors
  • Sensory restoration of perception of limb movement and contact
  • Design a functional tissue prosthesis
  • Create hybrid prostheses that exploit activity-dependent processes
  • Can brain control guide or refine limb control?
