SUMMARY:Intraneural neuroprostheses to understand and restore sensory\, mo
 tor\, and autonomic neural functions - Prof. Dr. Silvestro Micera  Bertare

DESCRIPTION:Neuroengineering is a novel discipline combining engineering i
 ncluding micro and nanotechnology\, electrical and mechanical\, and comput
 er science with cellular\, molecular\, cognitive neuroscience with two mai
 n goals: (i) increase our basic knowledge of how the nervous system works\
 ; (ii) develop systems able to restore functions in people affected by dif
 ferent types of neural disability. In the past years\, several breakthroug
 hs have been reached by neuroengineers in particular on the development of
  neurotechnologies able to restore sensorimotor functions in disabled peop
 le.\n\nIn this presentation\, I will provide several examples on how impla
 ntable interfaces can be used to restore sensory (tactile feedback for han
 d prostheses\, vision)\, motor (grasping\, locomotion)\, and autonomic fun
 ctions (for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems) and how they can 
 be used also to understand cognitive functions such as language and decisi
 on making.
