Brown scientist wins $1.5M innovator award for new approach to decoding brain signals | Brown University
The five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health will support Carlos Vargas-Irwin’s research, which could ultimately improve control of robotic limbs for people with paralysis.
Carlos Vargas-Irwin, an assistant professor of neuroscience (research) at Brown University just received a five-year, $1.5 million New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health for his new approach to decoding neural activity in the motor cortex. Brown University PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — The motor cortex is the portion of the brain that controls movement, but it’s also active when a person watches someone else move or plans movements, such as tracking a ball before catching it. This complicates the process of decoding brain activity from that region in order to contro
