Neural Prosthetic Systems Laboratory Department of Electrical Engineering & Neurosciences Program Stanford University "We design neural prosthetic systems, that translate neural activity from the brain into control signals for prosthetic devices, to assist disabled patients. This work includes signal processing, estimation and control algorithm design as well as system modeling and real-time implementation. For example, how can we design neurally-controlled prosthetic arm systems with performance rivaling the natural arm, or communication systems rivaling the throughput (information transmission rate) of spoken English?" http://www.stanford.edu/~shenoy/group.html
