About
Dr. Sangeeta Driver is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). Her work centers on developing noninvasive platforms to decode neural activity, particularly high gamma band signals, for prosthetic control. In her landmark 2019 study (23 citations), she demonstrated that hemicraniectomy—a surgical procedure often performed after severe TBI—creates a unique acoustic window for recording high-fidelity brain signals without invasive electrodes. This breakthrough challenges the conventional dichotomy between invasive and noninvasive BMI approaches, offering a clinically relevant pathway for restoring motor function in patients with acquired brain injuries. By repurposing a common neurosurgical procedure as a recording platform, Dr. Driver’s research bridges neurocritical care and neural engineering, potentially accelerating the translation of BMI technology from laboratory to bedside. Her work has significant implications for patients with locked-in syndrome or severe motor impairments following TBI, positioning her as a leading voice in adaptive neurotechnologies. With growing citations and interdisciplinary impact, Dr. Driver continues to shape how we think about neural signal acquisition in compromised brain states.
