The Grenoble-Neurotech project aims to develop neuroprostheses allowing paralyzed people to compensate - at least partially - for the loss of control of their upper limbs or speech. It combines new implantable neural interfacing solutions with methods and tools for real-time processing of neural signals. The project also explores how these rehabilitation strategies can be extended to closed-loop therapeutic approaches in certain disabling psychiatric diseases such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. This research is conducted in conjunction with a reflection on the ethical and societal implications of these neurotechnological developments.
