Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Neuroscience
Rehabilitation Technology

Background:

A long history of innovation in neural-recording interfaces exists.
Transitioning advanced neuroprosthesis technology to clinical use presents key challenges.
Amputated service members require advanced prosthetic solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop new technology for extracting information from the nervous system.
To enable reliable control of modern robotic prostheses.
To ensure the technology functions over the lifetime of the amputee.

Main Methods:

The Reliable Neural Technology (RE-NET) Program is underway.
The program encompasses three distinct efforts: histology for interface stability over time (HIST), reliable peripheral interfaces (RPIs), and reliable central nervous system (CNS) interfaces (RCIs).

Main Results:

Focus on developing technology for high-scale and high-rate neural information extraction.
Aiming for robust neural interface stability and long-term functionality.
Addressing challenges in both peripheral and central nervous system interfaces.

Conclusions:

The RE-NET program is crucial for advancing neuroprosthetic technology.
Reliable neural interfaces are key to restoring function for amputees.
Continued innovation is needed for lifetime clinical use of neuroprostheses.
