Award for developing a portable neuroprosthesis using FES and BMI for Veterans with chronic tetraplegia to enable at-home use and improve system robustness.
Description
The project focuses on developing a neuroprosthesis combining Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) technologies for at-home use by Veterans with chronic tetraplegia. The project aims to improve system robustness to changes in brain function and internal states such as stress and fatigue. The study involves developing a portable FES+BMI system, understanding neural variability, and comparing different command modalities.
