A Wall Street Journal article describes the work of Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, at Duke University, who is working on brain-machine-interface devices to "remap how commands from the brain get to the rest of the body." The early primate work discussed in the article was funded, in part, by grants from the Reeve Foundation to Dr. Jose Carmena, who was a postdoc in the Nicolelis laboratory.

An accompanying video highlights the work of Drs. V. Reggie Edgerton and Susan Harkema, two scientists currently funded by the Reeve Foundation. Dr. Edgerton is a member of our International Research Consortium and Dr. Harkema is director of the Reeve NeuroRecovery Network.
