Bertarelli Foundation Chair in Translational Neuroengineering

Laboratory

The Bertarelli Foundation in Translation Neuroscience (TNE) Lab at EPFL focuses on developing neurotechnologies to restore sensorimotor function in individuals with disabilities. Their research includes innovative approaches such as transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation combined with lower limb exoskeletons for posture and gait rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy. The lab also works on providing sensory feedback to upper-limb amputees through intraneurally implanted electrodes, aiming to restore tactile and proprioceptive sensations. Additionally, they are exploring the integration of temperature feedback in prosthetics to enhance haptic perception and increase patients' embodiment of their artificial limbs.
