Funding
The Neural Bionics Lab is supported by competitive national and international research funding, enabling us to develop next-generation neuroprosthetic technologies.
This support enables our team to pursue ambitious research at the intersection of neuroscience, neurotechnology, and robotics, with a particular focus on restoring movement and sensation in people living with neurological disorders and paralysis.
Our funding supports research across the full translational pathway, from fundamental studies of human sensorimotor functions and neural coding to the development and validation of implantable brain–computer interfaces, sensory feedback technologies, and intelligent bionic systems.
