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 primary research areas are listed below.
