Research & Questions
A log of formal research, ongoing reading, and the questions I am currently exploring.
Questions
Exploring
How robust can neural decoding become outside controlled laboratory environments?
Investigating the signal degradation caused by real-world movement and environmental noise.
Long-term question
What makes a neural interface clinically useful rather than merely technically impressive?
Understanding the threshold where the benefit of an interface outweighs the cognitive or surgical burden.
Active study
How much information can realistically be extracted from non-invasive neural signals?
Comparing the theoretical bandwidth limits of EEG/MEG against invasive multielectrode arrays.
Exploring
What would have to change for sensory augmentation to become practical?
Looking at neural plasticity and how the brain adapts to novel sensory inputs through alternate channels.
