Today on Endpoints, we’re joined by Dr. Leigh Hochberg. He's the the Director of the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery at Mass General Hospital’s Department of Neurology and a neurologist in its Neurocritical Care and Stroke Services, a Professor of Engineering at Brown University, and the Director of the Veterans Affairs Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology in Providence, Rhode Island.
He’s also one of the leaders of the Braingate Consortium – a collaborative team of researchers from several hospitals and academic institutions working together on devices that aim to allow people with limited mobility to control devices directly with their brains. This technology – which also goes by the name Braingate – has already helped people with ALS, as well spinal cord injury and brainstem stroke survivors, do things like move a computer cursor using only the power of their minds.
