Development of somatosensory interfaces for the restoration of proprioception
Studies have revealed that this loss of somatosensation (the "sense of the body") in the very unusual cases when normal strength is preserved, makes standing, walking, and normal arm movements almost impossible.

Somatosensory representation of limb state during reaching
Although poorly understood and scarcely even appreciated as a real sense, "proprioception", the innate sense of limb positon and movement, is a critical component of our ability to make normal movements.

Development of motor cortical interfaces for control of reaching, grasping and locomotion
Using multi-electrode array technology and the basic principles we and other labs have discerned through basic research, we are working to develop neural interfaces that allow us to read out detailed information about arm movements from the motor cortex.

Limb Motor Control Lab: Motor Cortical Representation of Reaching and Grasping
The foundation of our work has been for many years, the study of the brain's representation of reaching and grasping movements.

Cortically-controlled functional electrical stimulation for neurorehabilitation
We are attempting to restore motor function in animals following spinal cord injury using a neural engineering approach.

The neural control of internal joint integrity
This project examines how the nervous system activates muscles activations to minimize joint injuries.

Development of motor cortical interfaces for the control of reaching, grasping and locomotion
Using this neuroprosthesis to overcome the effects of a reversible nerve block that paralyzed muscles of the hand and wrist, monkeys were able to perform functional tasks, such as grasping a ball, almost as successfully as they did before paralysis.
