About speaker:

Prof. Ralph Etienne Cummings discusses the intricacies and process behind full-integrated prosthetics. One of the frontiers of research is coding the senors into the sensor cortex; Ralph argues that decoding of actions is done so well that it can be considered 'engineering refinements'. He sites examples of science fiction and nature inspiring machine and emphasizes the importance of clinicians, biologist and engineers working together.
