This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) will fund research to evaluate the feasibility of using force-based and position-based prosthetic control systems for children born without a hand. The $127,557 award to the University of California, Davis aims to (1) maximize the combined static state prediction accuracy of surface electromyography and ultrasound imaging to...
This federal Project Grant award for $577,880.00, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, aims to develop advanced deep learning techniques to improve control of prosthetic hands for individuals with upper limb amputations. The grant supports research objectives to be conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan over a period of 5...
This $365,758 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at Penn State University to develop robust neural decoding approaches for human-machine interactions. The Principal Investigator will work to decode the neural command for individual finger movements by analyzing muscle electrical signals obtained non-invasively from the skin...
This $549,195 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is supporting the development of a minimally invasive, wireless implantable optical sensor to restore the sense of touch for patients with paralysis due to stroke or spinal cord injury. The University of Pennsylvania is leading this 3-year research effort to create a device that can measure skin-object interaction forces by detecting changes in underlying blood volume, with the goal...
This $500,003 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to explore how the human brain coordinates the asymmetric, cooperative movements of the two hands when performing bimanual tasks such as hammering a nail or opening a jar. The project aims to provide insights that can inform rehabilitation for stroke patients and...
This $312,039 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the University of California, Irvine in developing conformable, expandable neural interface devices to monitor brain activity and cognition in immature rodents. The overarching goal is to identify neurophysiological signatures of emerging cognitive processes as the animals mature and perform complex behaviors in naturalistic environments. The research aims to provide...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $399,453 to the Mayo Clinic to investigate cortical oscillations and sensorimotor processing during complex hand function tasks. The project aims to develop novel computational algorithms to predict grasp force and differentiate tactile inputs to the hand using high-density electrocorticography (ECoG) recordings. The research will also explore...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $575,566 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop and evaluate a novel Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI) for restoring individual finger movement in transhumeral amputees. The key objectives are to assess the amplitude, movement specificity, and stability of RPNI signals...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $500,000 supports research at Arizona State University from September 2022 to August 2026 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The university will develop a human-centered computing and control framework to improve walking performance and prosthesis embodiment for individuals with lower limb amputations. Researchers will formulate a coordinated human-robot control problem and design a learning-based...
This $800,000 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research at Florida Atlantic University to develop technology enabling disabled individuals to control advanced prosthetic devices. Specifically, the grant will support exploration of novel bimodal skin sensors, investigation of machine learning algorithms to classify user intent, and creation of a reinforcement learning paradigm for customized muscle training exercises. The goal is to empower those with upper limb deficiencies to...
