Matthew Schiefer's research

I came across with the research interest of Matthew Schiefer , Ph.D. Biomedical Engineer at Cleveland University, Ohio, USA. His current research involves developing realistic nerve models using detailed histological studies. These models are used to guide the development of neural interfaces which will ultimately restore one or more functions in paralyzed individuals. Apparently, he ( his team) was able to start movements of paralysed lower extremities with only pressing a machine’s bottom. The future has arrived. I am sure this method will develop very successful later. As a conductor I never felt that such things would jeopardise CE as a profession, hence it opens the future…
