Implantable Brain-Computer Interface Research
Implantable Brain-Computer Interface Research
The Willsey Lab at the University of Michigan conducts research into stable, high-performance implantable brain-computer interfaces to restore movement and communication.
This research combines the use of neural engineering, electrical engineering, and machine learning to build and enhance systems that translate neural signals into a control signal for devices.
Our current research areas include:
Fine Motor Control
Multi-effector Digital Control
Stable Neural Decoding and Neural Manifolds
Speech and communication neuroprostheses
Computational neuroscience
