Brain-controlled spinal cord stimulation to restore mobility after spinal cord injury.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) affects almost 500,000 people every year, causing complete paralysis of both legs in severe cases, with no current treatment perspective. However, new neuroengineering technologies, such as the Brain Spine Interface (BSI), have eme ...
EPFL2023Modelisation of fiber reinforced DEAs
The aim of this "Face Reconstruction" project is to enable people with paralysis in one half of their face to recover facial expressions. To do this, we’ll replace the paralyzed muscle with an DEA which we’ll connect to the nerve on the other side of the f ...
2023Puppeteer and Marionette: Learning Anticipatory Quadrupedal Locomotion Based on Interactions of a Central Pattern Generator and Supraspinal Drive
Auke Ijspeert, Guillaume Denis Antoine Bellegarda, Milad Shafiee Ashtiani
Quadruped animal locomotion emerges from the interactions between the spinal central pattern generator (CPG), sensory feedback, and supraspinal drive signals from the brain. Computational models of CPGs have been widely used for investigating the spinal co ...
New York2023Fabrication of a planar Dielectric Elastomer Actuator and Characterization of its self-discharge rate
Facial paralysis is a very challenging condition that can affect all age groups. It impacts facial movement, appearance, emotional expression, social interactions, and critical functions such as smiling, eating, speaking, or blinking. There are a wide vari ...
