About
Natalia Lago is a leading figure in neuroprosthetics and bionic interface research, whose work has fundamentally shaped how we connect the human nervous system with artificial limbs. Her most influential contribution is a seminal critical review on interfaces with the peripheral nervous system for controlling neuroprostheses and hybrid bionic systems, published in 2005. This paper, which has garnered over 841 citations, systematically analyzed the scientific and technological challenges of linking neural tissue with electronic prostheses to restore motor and sensory functions in disabled patients. By evaluating different interface strategies—from nerve electrodes to regenerative approaches—Lago provided a foundational roadmap that has guided two decades of research in neural engineering. Her work is notable for bridging the gap between basic neuroscience and clinical application, addressing both the biological integration of implants and the signal processing required for intuitive prosthetic control. Lago’s scholarship has been instrumental in advancing the field toward more natural, bidirectional communication between humans and machines, making her a pivotal voice in the quest to restore lost function through hybrid bionic systems.
