Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Marcello Rosa (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Konstantinos Hadjidimitrakis ,  Dr Sofia Bakola ,  Prof Patrizia Fattori

Brief description This project will find out how the electrical activity of brain cells is used to direct the arms to a specific position in the space around a person's body. By understanding the code used by brain cells to perform this control of the arms, we will be able to 'read' the brain activity directly, and use it to allow control of artificial arms by people who have been paralysed or had amputations.
