56 EPFL PRESS INFO 24 APRIL 2012 Press information April 24th 2012 EPFL Announces the Next Phase for its Center for Neuroprosthetics Lausanne, April 24th 2012: Research in biotechnology, microelectronics and neural implants as well as unprecedented advances in our understanding of the brain are changing our approaches to treating disability. EPFL s Center for Neuroprosthetics (CNP) is defining and establishing a truly interdisciplinary area of study; merging neuroscience with engineering and medicine, and efficiently translating major breakthroughs from bioengineering and neuroscience to the clinic. Over the last decade, EPFL has moved steadily towards becoming a world center for bio-engineering technology and applications. In 2009, it affirmed this intention with the launch of its Center for Neuroprosthetics. Today, five professors make up the current research core of the Center for Neuroprosthetics (CNP). They represent world specialists in their varying domains - stretchable electronics, paraplegic treatment, translational neuroprosthetics, cognitive neuroscience and neurology, and brain-machine interfaces. The Future of Neuroprosthetic Technology: In order to better explain the activities of the CNP and highlight the Center s transdisciplinary nature, here are four scenarios that cover a large scope of its research and collaborations. Human-Computer confluence Virtual reality, sensory stimulation and robotics, combined with brain-computer interfaces, have allowed the merging of man and machine in an unprecedented fashion. Non-invasively recorded brain activity can control computers, move avatars and robots, and drive wheelchairs. Merging insights from cognitive neuroscience and real-time decoding of brain activity, research at the CNP exploits EEG, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation to understand, control, and enhance brain mechanisms for feeling and moving artificial limbs, bodies, robots, and wheelchairs. Hearing Research The cochlear implant, a device that bypasses a damaged inner ear and conveys electrical signals directly to the auditory nerve, has been the most successful neural prosthesis of that past few decades, with over 200,000 in use worldwide. However a substantial fraction of patients are not candidates for a cochlear implant, and there has been great interest in developing a similar prosthesis that bypasses the damaged auditory nerve by directly stimulating the brainstem. Scientists at the CNP are developing a novel generation of auditory brainstem implants that conform to the contours of the brainstem and will be able to deliver electrical and optical stimulation more selectively than current clinical implants. The project is part of the Harvard Medical School and EPFL collaboration for the Bertarelli Program in Translational Neuroscience. 52

57 Technology-assisted rehabilitation after stroke Rehabilitation using advanced technologies such as robotics and electrical stimulation have demonstrated improvements in motor function after intensive treatment in both chronic and sub-acute post-stroke populations. The CNP is developing a novel generation of hybrid devices that are able to customize complex rehabilitation solutions tailored to the needs of specific patients. The approach is based on the combined use of human-machine interfaces and several technology-based neurorehabilitation approaches, with a particular attention to the characterization of the cognitive effects of the clinical protocols. Walking again & Paraplegia The CNP is pioneering an integrated cortico-spinal neuroprosthesis that will restore voluntary control of locomotion after a complete spinal cord injury. To achieve this goal, we are interfacing cortical modulations with a novel, stretchable spinal electrode array. Practically, real-time decoding of brain signals will be exploited to achieve selective electrical stimulations of spinal circuits through the electrode array. This cortico-spinal neuroprosthesis will re-establish supraspinal control of spinal circuits and locomotion after the physical interruption of connections between the brain and spinal cord. The project is also part of the Harvard Medical School and EPFL collaboration for the Bertarelli Program in Translational Neuroscience. Bionic arm & amputation CNP researchers are pursuing the restoration of complex hand functions by creating a novel bidirectional link between the peripheral nervous system and a dexterous hand prosthesis. Novel (intraneural and regenerative) implantable interfaces are under development to achieve a fast and intuitive connection to allow an effective bidirectional flow of information between the user s nervous system and the smart artificial device. The project implies a wide array of new technologies: novel bioinspired artificial skins, the use of the bionic prosthesis in terms of body ownership as well as brain-computer interfaces are also being explored.
