@Sam_R_Nason, with @ParagGPatil and @ChestekLab, discusses brain-controlled functional electrical stimulation to restore finger movements #SfN2022 @UMBME @umichneuro
Happy to introduce our new study in @NatureComms out of @ChestekLab showing high-velocity, simultaneous movements of two finger groups using a temporally-convolved, shallow-layer feedforward neural network. nature.com/articles/s4146…
📢Preprint for recent project collab led by @seymourjp2 developing microneedle array for peripheral nerve interfacing. Tiny needles for tiny nerves! #NIH_SPARC funded. #pneurolab @sparc_science biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Ultra-flexible and Stretchable Intrafascicular Peripheral Nerve Recording Device with Axon-dimension, Cuff-less Microneedle ... biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci
Check out our recent @NeuroCellPress publication by @Sam_R_Nason showcasing a brain-machine interface predicting the continuous movements of two finger groups! cell.com/neuron/fulltex…
.@UMBME researchers demonstrated the first ever brain-controlled individual finger control for advanced prostheses in primates, on a computer that could fit on an implantable device. news.engin.umich.edu/2021/09/indivi…
Great write-up on this collaborative work from @ChestekLab and @tim_bruns.
An implantable carbon fiber electrode developed by @UMBME engineers could one day boost the quality of life for amputees and those with spinal cord injuries by giving them control of prosthetics and bodily functions. The research is funded by @NSF & @NIH. news.engin.umich.edu/2021/07/carbon…
