Describe a framework for replacing damaged cortical tissue and fostering circuit integration to restore neurological function -- Build a smart prosthesis that will grow with a child (such as a heart valve or cerebral shunt, or a self-healing prosthesis) -- Develop a smart prosthetic that can learn better and/or faster -- Brain interfacing with materials: recording and stimulation electrodes -- Refine technologies to create active orthotic devices -- Structural tissue interfaces: enabling and enhancing continual maintenance and adaptation to mechanical and biologic factors -- Sensory restoration of perception of limb movement and contact -- Design a functional tissue prosthesis -- Create hybrid prostheses that exploit activity-dependent processes -- Can brain control guide or refine limb control?
