The Neural Prosthetic Lab seeks to improve the effectiveness of CNS-based neural prosthetics by understanding how and why neurons respond to electric stimulation. We use this knowledge to develop improved methods of stimulation. Projects focus on retinal prosthetics, DBS and other devices.

Cochlear prostheses

Cochlear implants (CIs) enable the profoundly deaf to hear and understand speech in quiet environments. However, they become much less effective when

Retinal Prostheses

Retinal prostheses are microelectronic devices, implanted into the back of the eye, with the goal of stimulating nonfunctioning neurons in the retina
