About
Juliet Heye is a leading researcher in neural engineering, specializing in somatosensory feedback for brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). Her work focuses on restoring touch and proprioception to individuals with tetraplegia, enabling more natural, dexterous control of prosthetic limbs. Heye’s most-cited paper, “Characterizing the short-latency evoked response to intracortical microstimulation across a multi-electrode array” (2022, 55 citations), provides foundational insights into how electrical stimulation of the somatosensory cortex can reliably evoke sensory percepts. This work is critical for developing closed-loop BMIs that deliver real-time tactile feedback, addressing a key barrier to clinical translation. By systematically mapping neural responses across electrode arrays, Heye has advanced the precision and safety of intracortical microstimulation, directly informing next-generation neuroprosthetics. Her research bridges fundamental neuroscience and applied engineering, with implications for restoring both movement and sensation. Heye’s contributions are widely recognized in the BMI community, and her ongoing work promises to enhance the quality of life for those with paralysis, making her a rising figure in neurorehabilitation and brain-computer interface design.
