Research project funded by NINDS to study sensorimotor control in nonhuman primates to aid paralysis therapies.
Description
The project aims to understand how sensorimotor cortex in nonhuman primates contributes to the control of volitional adjustments to locomotion. It explores neural mechanisms involving the motor cortex, spinal cord, and sensorimotor interactions to develop brain-machine interfaces for restoring walking in paralysis.
