Cortical Bionics Research Group

Check out @giacomo_valle's summary of our new paper showing the details that we can convey to BCI users through spatio-temporally patterned stimulation in somatosensory cortex. This is a great step towards restoring natural sensation from future prosthetic hands.

Marc Schieber has published his insightful thoughts on the below paper and where it fits in the broader efforts towards dexterous neuroprosthetic hands in Nature BME: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Tune in at 11:00 CT today to learn more about our work restoring sensation through electrical stimulation in the cortex.

This was a big team effort by the labs, and especially the study participants, across three universities (@UChicago, @UPMC, and @cwru). These results are a big step forward for using ICMS to restore tactile sensations post-injury. nature.com/articles/s4155…

These interactions allowed us to improve the ability of participants to both locate which finger an object was contacting as well as how much force was being applied to it.

Our group has a new paper out now in Nature BME, led by Charles Greenspon. It covers a number of updates on how we can restore tactile sensation from the hand using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS).

A huge congratulations to Giacomo Valle and the entire team for their groundbreaking achievement in the world of BCI technology and with that 1st Place of the BCI Award 2024! 🏆 #BCIAward2024 Learn more 👉 bci-award.com Thank you @gtec_BCI for sponsoring this Award!

1st place 🥇 in the prestigious #BCIaward2024! Thanks to the jury, @Corbionics especially CharlesGreenspon, @LeeEugene57, @robert_gaunt1 and the BCI pioneers. @slimanjbensmaia, my mentor during the adventure in Chicago... this is dedicated to you bud... youtu.be/ipojAWqTxAA?si…

Postdoctoral Scholar position is open in the Hatsopoulos Lab and Sensorimotor Bionics Group. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work in sensorimotor neuroscience with a focus on manual dexterity in non-human primates beginning in January, 2025.

Excited to share the first paper of my PhD under @jenpgh! Here, we revisit the idea of motor somatotopy in humans implanted with intracortical electrode arrays as part of a clinical study in @RNELabs and @Corbionics 1/9

Check out our study on #biomimetic microstimulation of human #S1 led by Taylor Hobbs and prof. Robert Gaunt at @RNELabs within @Corbionics 🧠🦾⚡️ Another important step towards a more natural human-machine connection 🚀 #neuroprosthetics #iBCI #bionics #touch
