Advances in Neuroprosthetics and Robotics Enrich Lives
Join us for "Advances in Neuroprosthetics and Robotics Enrich Lives" webcast
http://www.softconference.com/WebcastSystem/webcast.aspx?WebcastID=67&sessionID=408084
Session Description:
Neuroscientists are harnessing incredible developments in implantable neural recording devices, tissue engineering, and developmental biology to create more and more advanced prosthetics, brain-machine interfaces, and soft “biological robots,” with the goal of improving quality of life for people with sensory impairment. Researchers will describe new neurotechnologies that increase proprioceptive and tactile feedback and reduce phantom pain, as well as explain how development of biocompatible retinal implants and bioengineered robots may be the first step toward building a repertoire of more organic and complex capabilities.
