On November 10th, 2023 at 11.15 am Silvestro Micera, Professor at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (SSSA), will give a seminar on "Sensory Neuroprostheses" in 25.S.1 Room (Building 25) and on line by Webex.

The talk will explore the emerging field of neuroengineering, a discipline integrating engineering, neuroscience, and computer science. With a focus on advancing our understanding of the nervous system and restoring neural functions in disabled individuals, the presentation will highlight recent breakthroughs in implantable interfaces. These interfaces enable the restoration of sensory, motor, and autonomic functions, as well as provide insights into cognitive processes like language and decision-making. Specific examples will be provided, showcasing the potential of neurotechnologies in enhancing the lives of people affected by neural disabilities.
