The EPFL Center for Neuroprosthetics is an interdisciplinary research center hosting over 220 scientists, engineers, and clinicians. They focus on designing and implementing innovative neurotechnologies to diagnose, treat, and assist individuals with neurological disorders and trauma. Research areas include bioinspired neural interfaces, non-invasive brain-computer interfaces, machine learning, biomedical signal processing, robotics, and neuroscience. The Center aims to restore vision, enable sensorimotor control after spinal cord injury, stroke, or amputation, and alleviate cognitive and psychiatric disorders. They work on developing non-invasive, wearable, or implantable interfaces to communicate with the nervous system for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of neurological disorders. The Center is known for its world-class research integrating knowledge in neuroscience, engineering, and medicine, with a focus on translational research. They collaborate with health institutions along the Lemanic coast and have expertise in materials science, microfabrication, neuroimaging, robotics, and cognitive neuroscience.
