Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Robert Shepherd (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr James Fallon ,  A/Pr John Forsythe ,  Dr Rylie Green ,  Prof Helena Parkington

Brief description This research will develop improved electrodes for interfacing neural tissue by combining the expertise of materials scientists and electrophysiologists with medical bionics researchers. This work is expected to deliver improved bionic devices to the clinic in order to treat a variety of disorders from blindness to the control of motor tremor in Parkinson's disease.
