Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET)

Abstract

Wounded warriors with amputated limbs cannot exploit recent advances in prosthetic-limb technology because the interfaces used to extract limb-control information are low-performance and unreliable. The goal of the Reliable Neural Technology (RE-NET) program is to develop the technology and systems needed to reliably extract motor-control information at the scale and rate necessary to control state-of-the-art high-performance prosthetic limbs. In support of this goal, the RE-NET program is developing methods to quantitatively assess and model the leading causes of neural interface degradation and failure. Through this focus on reliability, the RE-NET program will enable clinically relevant technology transitions in support of wounded warriors.
