New Implant for Stroke Rehabilitation

A team of University of Washington researchers, including faculty members of the CNT, implanted a device to help people who have had a stroke. Jeffrey Ojemann, Jeffrey Herron and Andrew Ko collaborated with clinicians, neuroscientists, engineers and others to determine how neural stimulation might induce neuroplastic changes in the brain to improve arm function after a stroke.
