Chethan Pandarinath has won a Director's New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health to use artificial intelligence tools to create brain-machine interfaces that function with unprecedented speed and accuracy, decoding in real-time what the brain is the telling the body to do. The aim is to reconnect the brain and body for patients paralyzed from strokes, spinal cord injuries, or ALS — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. (Photo: Jack Kearse)
