Directly interfacing with the nervous system to restore lost functions and enhance human capability

Developing next-generation algorithms and computing substrates that leverage neurobiology to revolutionize intelligent systems

APL led several test and evaluation efforts for IARPA’s MICrONs project, launched to develop state-of-the-art machine-learning capabilities by modeling how the brain processes information.

Revolutionizing Prosthetics was an ambitious multiyear program—funded by DARPA—to create a neurally controlled artificial limb that would restore near-natural motor and sensory capability to upper-extremity amputee patients.
