About
Brian Wodlinger is a leading researcher at the intersection of neural engineering and medical robotics, with key contributions to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and advanced surgical systems. His most impactful work involves translating BCI technology from animal models to human clinical applications, enabling individuals with tetraplegia to control a sophisticated anthropomorphic robotic arm with remarkable speed and precision—approaching that of an able-bodied person. This landmark study, published in 2013 and cited over 70 times, exemplifies his collaborative approach to developing high-performance neuroprosthetics. Wodlinger has also advanced electroneurography (ENG) by developing hierarchical beamforming techniques to reduce cross-talk in neural recordings, improving the estimation of individual neuronal fascicle activity. More recently, he has applied his expertise in robotics to create a three-dimensional micro-ultrasound system for prostate biopsy guidance, demonstrating the breadth of his research from neural interfaces to clinical instrumentation. His work bridges fundamental neuroscience with tangible assistive technologies, making him a pivotal figure in the quest to restore function and improve quality of life for people with severe motor impairments.
