Developing StiMote, a wireless neural stimulator for restoring vision
The highly collaborative project will leverage many tiny sensing computers, called “motes,” to communicate with the visual cortex of the brain.Joseph Costello awarded Rackham Predoc to support research on brain-machine interfaces
Costello is working to restore mobility to individuals by developing improved brain-machine interfaces.Olivia Lee awarded NSF Graduate Research Fellowship for brain-machine interfaces that could improve control of robotic prostheses
Lee designs implantable and wearable electronics to help restore movement to those who have lost limbs or have been paralyzed.Six ECE graduate students recognized by NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program
Six ECE graduate students were selected for their outstanding research work in a variety of disciplines.
New funding for high-fidelity nerve mapping research
SPARC awarded $1M to a U-M project developing better nerve mapping.
$7.75M for mapping circuits in the brain
A new NSF Tech Hub will put tools to rapidly advance our understanding of the brain into the hands of neuroscientists.
MCubed A Year Later: A record of fostering innovative research
Several of the cubes enabled research to progress to the point that faculty are applying for larger grants to continue the work.
