About

Monika Heringhaus is a rising researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and their application in restoring motor function after neurological injury. Her key research areas include neurofeedback, robotics, and electrical stimulation, particularly for stroke patients with hand paralysis. Her most cited work, "Brain-Machine Neurofeedback: Robotics or Electrical Stimulation?" (2020, 11 citations), critically examines the comparative efficacy of robotic orthoses and functional electrical stimulation (FES) as BMI-driven training tools for paralyzed limbs. This paper has helped shape early-stage discussions on optimal neurorehabilitation strategies, offering a foundational comparison for future device development. While still early in her career, Heringhaus’s contributions highlight the potential of closed-loop neurotechnology to bridge the gap between brain signals and physical movement. Her work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring non-invasive, patient-centered approaches to recovery, and her findings are increasingly cited in studies on adaptive neuroprosthetics. As the field evolves, Heringhaus’s research promises to inform more targeted, effective rehabilitation protocols.
