Featured Speakers from Previous Editions
Previous editions of The Brain and The Chip have brought together internationally recognized researchers, clinicians, and innovators from leading universities, hospitals, and neurotechnology companies worldwide.
Pieter Roelfsema participated in The Brain and The Chip 2024 as one of the leading international experts in neuroscience and brain-machine interfaces. During the congress, he moderated the session focused on Cognitive Prostheses, which explored how neural technologies and brain-computer interfaces can interact with higher cognitive functions such as perception, movement, and decision-making.
Robert Gaunt, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and a leading researcher in the field of neuroprosthetics and bidirectional brain-computer interfaces. During The Brain and The Chip 2024, he presented his work on sensory restoration technologies designed to improve the control and functionality of advanced prosthetic devices.
He explored how artificial sensory feedback can be integrated into neuroprosthetic systems to provide users with a more natural sense of touch, enabling more precise and intuitive motor control. By combining neural interfaces, intracortical stimulation, and advanced prosthetic technologies, his research aims to restore both movement and sensation for individuals living with paralysis, limb loss, or neurological injuries. His work represents an important step toward the development of next-generation neuroprostheses capable of recreating more natural interactions between the human nervous system and artificial devices.
Richard A. Andersen is the James G. Boswell Professor of Neuroscience and Director of the Chen Brain-Machine Interface Center at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). During The Brain and The Chip 2024, he presented his pioneering research on cognitive neuroprosthetics and the neural mechanisms underlying intention, decision-making, and movement planning.
His talk explored how activity in the posterior parietal cortex and motor cortex can be decoded to develop next-generation brain-machine interfaces. His work has contributed to the development of neural prosthetic systems that allow users to control computers, robotic devices, and other assistive technologies directly through brain activity
