Interfacing the nervous system for rehabilitation

Memory loss, tremors, paralysis: when parts of the nervous system start to break down – or get broken – the consequences for human health can be staggering. Can we fix the nervous system, and how are scientists approaching the problem?

Soft robot modules for new haptic interactions

EPFL researchers have developed a customizable soft robotic system that uses compressed air to produce shape changes, vibrations, and other haptic, or tactile, feedback in a variety of configurations.

Brain decoder controls spinal cord stimulation

Ismael Seáñez’s lab develops brain wave decoder that may help in spinal cord injury rehabilitation

Robotics and spinal stimulation restore movement in paralysis

Scientists at .Neurorestore (EPFL/CHUV/UNIL) have developed an approach that combines rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord stimulation to restore movement in people with spinal cord injuries. The technology enhances rehabilitation and enables activities like cycling and walking outdoors.
