The neural engineering laboratory seeks to replace motor and cognitive functions lost by injury or disease via optical non-invasive neuroprostheses. Bidirectional (i.e. sensory and motor) photonic interfaces with intact portions of the nervous system can help recover functions lost in distant injured brain regions. The lab deploys experimental (brain imaging, optogenetics) and computational (deep neural networks, machine learning algorithms) techniques to modulate and record brain activity in closed-loop and real-time. The laboratory also develops open-source tools for the neuroscience community.
