Neural Interfaces for Neuroprosthetic Control: Leveraging Mechanoreception For Sensory Feedback, Motility, and Satiety
an HBI 101 Series Talk
Thursday, May 30th | 11:00am
Armenise Building, Modell Classroom
210 Longwood Ave, Boston
Shriya Srinivasan
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering;
Director, BIONICs Lab;
Harvard University
Free and open to the public. Coffee and snacks will be served.
This talk will elucidate new strategies in reconstructive surgical design and devices for peripheral nerve interfacing to restore sensory and motor control for amputees with advanced prostheses. It will also explore the neural interfacing of gastric mechanoreceptors through ingestible electronics for motility and the modulation of hunger/satiety. These approaches give way to a new design framework that can optimize and eventually dissolve the interface between the human body and devices.
We encourage all those who are able to join us in-person! However, if you can't attend in person, a Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
A small group lunch with the speaker will follow this event. This lunch will be open to Harvard students, research assistants, and fellows. Please let us know below if you are interested in attending. Spaces are limited, so please request a spot by May 23rd. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
