The Neurobionics Laboratory is a joint research group between the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering and the Department of Physiology at Monash University. Our research focuses on the development of neural prostheses and systems neuroscience.
Our lab is working to improve and develop a wide range of neural prostheses, including Brain Machine Interfaces for upper limb control, bionic eyes, and cochlear implants. We are particularly interested in developing new recording technologies, and utilizing novel neuroscience approaches like the local field potential to improve the efficacy of devices.
On the basic neuroscience side, we study the role of the local field potentials in communication across brain areas and potential roles in multi-effector decision making, reward learning and movement planning.
