Projects
The rehab glove: Passive tactile stimulation for stroke rehabilitation
Project's stimulation method may provide a powerful tool to reduce disability after a stroke, and the wearable form factor allows users to receive intensive therapy during their normal daily routine
NeuroRoots, brain/computer interface solution for paralysis
Clinical translation of protein-engineered, matrix-mimetic nerve guidance conduits for peripheral nerve injury
Developing a protein-engineered nerve implant that mimics the biochemical and mechanical cues of native tissue in order to enhance the potential for neural regeneration following injury.
The wearable ENG: A dizzy attack event monitor
PTS glove passive tactile stimulation for stroke rehab - Renewal
This team is developing wearable stimulation devices to improve limb function after stroke. The technology includes a tactile stimulation method, and the wireless, lightweight, and low-cost wearable computing devices to apply this stimulation.
The wearable ENG: a dizzy attack event monitor, Dizzy DX - Renewal
Extracochlear neurostimulation - Auricle
Sensorineural hearing loss is an increasingly prevalent condition that causes disability to over a third of US adults aged over 65. We are developing a breakthrough device to restore high-frequency hearing that preserves residual hearing through a reversible and minimally invasive approach.
