The Laboratory for the Development of Medical Neural Interfaces and AI for Clinical Applications has been opened at the Federal Center for Brain Research and Neurotechnology of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency. Researchers of the laboratory will develop several areas, in particular, new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, methods of passive speech mapping (helps to expand the possibilities of neurosurgical operations), and will also develop minimally invasive speech prosthesis systems (creating speech prostheses).

Experts expect that the work in the new laboratory will be followed by clinical testing, and in the future the developed products and solutions will be certified, patented, and commercialized. Aleksey Ossadtchi, director of the HSE Center for Bioelectric Interfaces, heads the laboratory. Funding for the laboratory under the Priority 2030 program is provided for an eight-year period.
