Table of Contents:
- Describe a framework for replacing damaged cortical tissue and fostering circuit integration to restore neurological function
- Build a smart prosthesis that will grow with a child (such as a heart valve or cerebral shunt, or a self-healing prosthesis)
- Develop a smart prosthetic that can learn better and/or faster
- Brain interfacing with materials: recording and stimulation electrodes
- Refine technologies to create active orthotic devices
- Structural tissue interfaces: enabling and enhancing continual maintenance and adaptation to mechanical and biologic factors
- Sensory restoration of perception of limb movement and contact
- Design a functional tissue prosthesis
- Create hybrid prostheses that exploit activity-dependent processes
- Can brain control guide or refine limb control?
