Our research areas

We turn breakthroughs in neuroscience
into recovered movement.

Fifteen years of preclinical research have produced implantable neurotechnologies for paraplegia, tetraplegia, Parkinson's disease, stroke and traumatic brain injury.

01

Spinal cord
injury

Targeted epidural stimulation reactivates the spinal cord below the injury and amplifies the commands still coming from the brain.

02

Parkinson's
disease

We decode brain and spinal dynamics during movement to correct the gait and balance deficits that medication leaves behind.

03

Stroke

Cortical recordings map how the brain reorganises after a subcortical stroke, and guide the neurotechnology that follows.

The paralysis is not
the end of the story

A human adventure

Around 20 million people worldwide have a spinal cord injury, which has a major impact on their quality of life. By disrupting electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body, they can cause partial or complete paralysis.

Movement is a right,
not a privilege

  • Today it is a treatment, and the question has become how many people we can reach.

The body is nature's
most complex circuit.
We learn to repair it.
