Laboratory of Brain Computer Interfaces

Welcome to the Laboratory of Brain Computer Interfaces, part of the .Neurorestore Center (https://www.neurorestore.swiss/).

We are exploring how brain activity encodes behavior and perception in order to restore neurological function. We are designing the next generation of bidirectional BCI.

Projects

  • UP2: Restoring voluntary upper limb movements through brain controlled spinal cord stimulation
  • Think2Go: Restoring locomotion through brain controlled spinal cord stimulation
  • BrainGPT: Foundation models of cortical activity
  • Brain2Mov: Generative models of movements from brain activity
  • SensAI: Restoring somatosensory percepts through cortical stimulation
  • Dexterity: Closed loop peripheral stimulation for fine motor control after paralysis
  • TSCS: Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation optimization to restore motor function after spinal cord injury
