Technologies that restore movement and the sense of touch are helping people to overcome the physical effects of stroke and spinal-cord injury. Read full story…
The news can be a damper sometimes, and in 2017, it seemed to be a heavy weight a lot. But there were sparks of hope in some places, especially in medicine, where the next frontier of health technology made what we formerly thought impossible pretty damn possible. Between gene editing, mind control, and viruses carrying secret fixes…
When this publication first profiled the Cleveland FES Center more than 10 years ago, the center was unique for its collaborations and unquestionably a premier research institution in neuroprosthetics. Today, the center still thrives on collaboration but has expanded and diversified its role in the neurotechnology field. Read full article…
