Neural prosthetics research groups
Cutting edge research groups.
Where in the world is the cutting edge in neural prosthetic design taking place?
I’d like to know if anyone has any opinions on where the most exciting neural prosthetic work is taking place. Design, application, outlooks, everything.
Please help out with a few suggestions to aid a poor MPhil student’s future PhD group research…
Thanks!

Andy Schwartz at the Univeristy of Pittsburgh.
Just watch the movies on his website.

A couple of years ago I started making a list of everyone I heard of who is doing this sort of research. It hasn’t been updated in awhile (although I plan to keep updating it), but you might find it useful. Please add anyone else you whom you know about to it:

Richard Andersen (my advisor) at Caltech has got a really great neuroprosthetics program going. Our group uses cognitive signals, as opposed to motor signals, to drive devices. Check out a review article he wrote awhile back:
Cognitive neural prosthetics.

We’re a small start-up company doing custom ASIC designs for neural research. Have a new wireless neural monitoring headstage that transmits 15 electrode channels across 1.5 meters. Working on other designs including neural stimulator ASICs and looking for development partners. Have a National Science Foundation SBIR grant and interested in new grant opportunities. We have several distribution agreements with global partners and are adept at producing research electronics. Current specifications are posted on our web site. Inquiries welcome.
