SMART PROSTHETICS: EXPLORING ASSISTIVE DEVICES FOR THE BODY AND MIND
Task Group Topics
Eleven interdisciplinary task groups will spend about eight hours developing a possible scientific plan to solve an outstanding challenge posed to the group. On Friday the task groups will give a short report-out (5 minutes each group) to share progress to date. A more extensive report-out will be completed on Saturday afternoon (about 20 minutes, including Q&A). The goals of the task groups are to spur new thinking, to have people from different disciplines interact, and to forge new scientific contacts across disciplines. The task groups are not expected to solve the particular problems posed to the group, but rather to come up with a consensus method of attack and a thoughtful list of what we know and don’t know how to do, and what’s needed to get there. The composition of the groups will be intentionally diverse to encourage the generation of new approaches by combining a range of different types of contributions. The groups include researchers from science, engineering, and medicine, as well as representatives from private and public funding agencies, university and business leadership, and science journals. Each task group will include a graduate student in a university science writing program. Based on the group interaction and the final briefings, the students will write a group summary, which will be reviewed by the group members. These summaries will describe the problem and outline the approach taken, including what research needs to be done to understand the fundamental science behind the challenge, the proposed plan for engineering the application, the reasoning that went into it, and the benefits to society of the problem solution.
Topics
-
Describe a framework for replacing damaged cortical tissue and fostering circuit integration to restore neurological function.
-
Build a prosthesis that will grow with a child (such as a heart valve or cerebral shunt, or a self-healing prosthesis).
-
Develop a smart prosthetic that can learn better and/or faster.
-
Brain interfacing with materials: Recording and stimulation electrodes. (Two groups will be run.)
-
Refine technologies to create active orthotic devices.
-
Structural tissue interfaces: Enabling and enhancing continual maintenance and adaptation to mechanical and biologic factors.
-
Restore sensory perception of limb movement and contact.
-
Design a functional tissue prosthesis.
-
Create hybrid prostheses that exploit activity-dependent processes.
-
Can brain control guide or refine limb control?
