About

Mayank Tahilramani is a biomedical engineer whose research lies at the critical intersection of neural engineering and regenerative medicine, with a primary focus on developing high-fidelity peripheral nerve interfaces for advanced prosthetics. His most cited work, “A regenerative microchannel device for recording multiple single‐unit action potentials in awake, ambulatory animals” (2015, 20 citations), addresses a fundamental challenge in neuroprosthetics: the inability of commercial devices to restore natural limb function. Tahilramani’s key contribution is the design of a microchannel-based regenerative interface that guides regenerating axons through recording electrodes, enabling stable, long-term, single-unit recordings from awake, freely moving animals. This approach overcomes the signal degradation and mechanical mismatch that plague conventional nerve cuffs, offering a pathway to rich, bidirectional communication between the nervous system and bionic limbs. His work demonstrates that high-resolution neural recording is achievable in ambulatory subjects, a crucial step toward clinically viable prosthetics that can restore both motor control and sensory feedback. By bridging regenerative biology with microelectromechanical systems, Tahilramani is helping to close the gap between laboratory innovation and the real-world needs of amputees, advancing the dream of truly functional neural interfaces.
