About
Sergey D. Stavisky is a leading neuroscientist and engineer whose research lies at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and motor neuroprosthetics. His work focuses on restoring movement and communication for individuals with paralysis by decoding neural signals from the motor cortex. In a landmark 2013 study, Stavisky demonstrated the first continuous control of a robotic arm—the DLR Light-Weight Robot III—by a human with tetraplegia using the BrainGate2 neural interface system, a breakthrough that has garnered over 32 citations and laid critical groundwork for closed-loop BCI systems. His contributions extend to developing algorithms for real-time neural decoding, enabling more natural, intuitive control of assistive devices. Stavisky’s research has profound implications for improving quality of life in paralysis, and his work is widely cited in both engineering and clinical neuroscience communities. He continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with intracortical recording arrays, advancing toward clinically viable neural prosthetics that restore independence.
