Human Fusionsand NeuralRealityTM |
Building on 40+ years of neurotechnology success, we strive to achieve our vision of NeuralRealityTM through technological advances of direct neural connections between human sensorimotor systems, while building and promoting a culturally diverse, open, trans-disciplinary community of researchers, thinkers, students, entrepreneurs, and world leaders. We seek: |

Through direct connection between the human nervous system and a prosthesis, the user feels the prosthesis as it is their own hand. We are working to restore both sensation and effortless high degree-of-freedom of control of the prosthesis. The user thinks about moving their hand and the prosthesis mimics the motion. When the prosthesis interacts with the world, the user feels their hand touch the world. Our research ranges from highly advanced technology development to clinical translation of advanced technology to fundamental science understanding the relationship between artificial stimulation, user perception, and prosthesis usage. |
