Scientists are building on existing technologies and innovating new ones to develop prosthetics such as "soft" robots, brain-machine interfaces, and an organic retinal prosthesis that work to improve movement, enhance embodiment, restore vision, and more.

In this video, scientists share details related to research presented at the Neuroscience 2017 press conference “Advances in Neuroprosthetics and Robotics Enrich Lives.” Visit the SfN Press Room to learn more about this and other press conferences hosted at Neuroscience 2017.
