Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET)*

Abstract

*Previously funded in PE 0602715E, Project MBT-02 The Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET) program will develop the technology needed to reliably extract information from the nervous system, and to do so at a scale and rate necessary to control many degree-of-freedom machines, such as high-performance prosthetic limbs. This program will complement ongoing neural prosthetic activities funded through other DARPA programs. These other activities study cognition and the mechanisms of higher brain function, as well as construction of upper-limb prostheses. RE-NET will develop neural interface technologies to allow the best robotic prosthetic-limb technology, recently developed by DARPA, to be reliably used throughout the life of wounded warriors that have one or more amputated limbs.
