Willsey Lab for Brain-Computer Interfaces

The Willsey Laboratory for Brain-Computer Interfaces, led by Dr. Matt Willsey, advances research into implantable-brain computer interfaces (iBCIs) as therapies for individuals with severe speech and motor disabilities.

The team develops innovative decoding algorithms and multi-effector control strategies to enable precise fine motor movements and digital interactions, accounting for neural instability. By integrating computational neuroscience, the lab also explores new BCI applications and deepens our understanding of motor control.
