About
Jonathan Cheng is a pioneering figure in neural interfacing and neuroprosthetics, whose work focuses on restoring natural motor control and sensory feedback for upper-limb amputees. His major contributions center on developing regenerative and fascicle-specific electrode interfaces that seamlessly integrate with peripheral nerves. Notably, his 2014 study introduced the Regenerative Multi-electrode Interface (REMI), a groundbreaking approach that guides re-growing axons through an electrode array within a nerve lumen, enabling chronic sensory-motor recording in behaving animals—a key step toward intuitive prosthetic control. This work has garnered 18 citations and laid the foundation for subsequent innovations. Cheng’s 2021 paper on fascicle-specific targeting of longitudinal intrafascicular electrodes for motor and sensory restoration in amputees (14 citations) further refines precision neural stimulation. His recent technical report on 3-T MR neurography for pre-operative mapping of amputees implanted with FAST-LIFE electrode interfaces (2022) highlights his commitment to translating lab breakthroughs into clinical practice. With a career dedicated to bridging biology and engineering, Cheng’s research holds transformative potential for enhancing the quality of life for individuals with limb loss.
