Welcome to the Neuroengineering and Biomedical Instrumentation Laboratory! We study neuroprostheses with the central goal of improving the restoration of motor and somatosensory functions with upper-limb prostheses. We use approaches such as muscle and brain signal recording, stimulation, robotics, signal processing, and augmented reality.

Our collaborations span clinical research laboratories to entrepreneurial startups interested in bench-to-bedside translation. For exploring research collaborations, internship opportunities and common educational interests, contact Professor Nitish Thakor or the laboratory personnel.
