The proposed research project aims to explore the potential of neuroprosthetics to enhance brain function in individuals with neurological disorders and injuries. The project will focus on developing implantable devices that can interface with the brain and restore or augment impaired brain functions, such as motor control, speech, and memory.\nThe project will be conducted in several phases. The first phase will involve the development and optimization of neuroprosthetic devices that can interface with the brain and record neural activity. These devices will be designed to be biocompatible, reliable, and scalable for use in human clinical trials.\nThe second phase will focus on developing and refining signal processing and machine learning algorithms to decode neural activity recorded by the neuroprosthetic devices. These algorithms will be used to translate neural signals into actionable commands that can control external devices, such as robotic arms or speech generators.\nIn the third phase, the developed neuroprosthetic devices and algorithms will be tested in human clinical trials to evaluate their safety, efficacy, and feasibility. The trials will involve individuals with neurological disorders or injuries, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).\nThe potential applications of this research project are significant. The developed neuroprosthetics can improve the quality of life for individuals with neurological disorders or injuries by restoring lost or impaired functions. The technology can also be used to enhance brain function in healthy individuals, such as athletes, musicians, or pilots. Additionally, the project has the potential to advance our understanding of brain function and its interaction with external devices, and to enable new therapies for neurological disorders and injuries.

This research project aims to develop devices that can help people with neurological disorders and injuries. The devices, called neuroprosthetics, will be implanted in the brain to record brain activity and translate it into useful commands. The project will be conducted in three phases: developing the devices, refining algorithms to interpret brain activity, and testing the devices in humans. If successful, neuroprosthetics could improve the quality of life for people with neurological conditions, and enhance brain function in healthy individuals. The research also has the potential to advance our understanding of the brain and develop new treatments for neurological conditions.
