The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $899,286 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program grant to the University of Washington to fund research aimed at expanding the understanding of human-technology interaction through brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The interdisciplinary project will investigate how the nervous system responds to neural interfaces and develop advanced computational algorithms to optimize the interactions between users and BCI devices. The research aims to advance the field of rehabilitation and assistive technologies by enabling the nervous system to effectively control novel devices and regain function despite physical limitations. The project will also integrate the research findings into engineering curriculum and outreach programs to encourage participation from underrepresented groups. This grant reflects NSF's mission to support transformative research and education in the field of engineering.
