About

Alexey Petrushin’s research sits at the vital intersection of neuroengineering, assistive robotics, and computational neuroscience, with a clear mission to restore agency for people with severe motor impairments. His most impactful work explores hybrid brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), specifically demonstrating how combining motor imagery (MI) with click-like somatosensory feedback can significantly enhance EEG-BCI control for telepresence systems. This foundational paper has garnered 7 citations, establishing a key principle for closed-loop neural rehabilitation. Petrushin also contributed to the ambitious *Si elegans* project, a pioneering effort to reconstruct the complete nervous system of *C. elegans* through hardware simulation, bridging experimental and computational neurobiology. His applied work extends to gaze-controlled interfaces, where he developed a laser pointer platform for individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in locked-in states, enabling them to control telepresence robots using only ocular muscles. More recently, he has turned his attention to the ethical and practical dimensions of deploying robots in geriatric care. Through his diverse portfolio—from neural feedback loops to invertebrate neural simulation—Petrushin demonstrates a rare ability to translate fundamental neuroscience into tangible, life-changing assistive technologies.
