About

Welcome to CNBI
Clinical Neuroprosthetics and Brain Interaction Lab

We are a team of researchers led by Prof. José del R. Millán at The University of Texas at Austin, USA. The focus of our research is on the direct use of human brain signals to control devices, interact with our environment, and eventually recover from insults to and deficits of our central nervous system. We are involved in a large set of complementary projects, which balance the exploration of new brain signals for interaction, development of prototypes — where robust real-time operation is critical, — and their clinical translation.

CNBI is small enough to be friendly, but large enough to provide a stimulating research environment.
