Research directions.

We begin with the nervous system: how biological signals can inform engineered systems, and how useful feedback can return to the person using them.

Initial focusNeural interfacesSensing, interpreting, and returning information between the nervous system and engineered systems.Biosignals · Sensing · Decoding · Feedback Connected directionEmbodied bionicsPhysical systems designed to work with the body: sensing, actuation, mechanics, and control.Control · Actuation · Mechanics · Embodiment Longer horizonPhysiological systemsTechnologies intended to support, regulate, replace, or extend functions of the body.Physiology · Regulation · Materials · Integration

From a direction to a project

These directions describe our interests and their horizons. A project takes on a narrower question with a defined method and evidence that can be evaluated. Our project index contains only work that is ready to share.
