About
Devapratim Sarma is a leading researcher in neural engineering and assistive neurotechnology, with a primary focus on decoding motor intent from the human nervous system to restore function for individuals with paralysis. His most cited work, “Sensing and decoding the neural drive to paralyzed muscles during attempted movements of a person with tetraplegia using a sleeve array” (2021), demonstrates a groundbreaking approach to capturing and interpreting neural signals from peripheral nerves without invasive brain surgery. By using a non-invasive sleeve array, Sarma’s team successfully decoded the intended movements of a person with tetraplegia, translating neural drive into commands for assistive devices. This work has garnered 6 citations and represents a significant step toward practical, wearable neural interfaces that bypass damaged neural pathways. Sarma’s contributions bridge fundamental neuroscience and translational engineering, offering new hope for restoring mobility and independence. His research continues to push the boundaries of how we sense, decode, and harness the body’s own electrical signals, making him a key figure in the future of neuroprosthetics and human-machine interaction.
