About

Michal Maslik is a leading innovator in neural engineering, best known for his pioneering work on distributed, chronically-implantable brain-machine interfaces. His most impactful contribution is the development of the ENGINI (Empowering Next Generation Implantable Neural Interfaces) platform, which tackles critical limitations of existing neural implants through a novel 3-tier network architecture comprising an external processor, a cranial interface, and distributed neural nodes. This work, published in 2019 and garnering 59 citations, introduces a family of technologies designed to enhance scalability, longevity, and biocompatibility for long-term neural recording and stimulation. Maslik's research focuses on creating practical, high-bandwidth neural interfaces that can operate reliably in the body over years, moving beyond bulky, tethered systems. His contributions are foundational for next-generation neuroprosthetics and closed-loop therapies for neurological disorders. By addressing key challenges in power delivery, data transmission, and tissue integration, Maslik is helping to pave the way for truly seamless, chronic neural interfaces that could restore function and improve quality of life for patients with paralysis or sensory deficits.
