We are a multidisciplinary research group composed of professors and researchers with expertise in medicine, neuroscience, biology, engineering, rehabilitation sciences, and related fields.

Main research areas:

• Neuroprosthetics and visual rehabilitation
• Rehabilitation robotics
• Communication interfaces adapted for people with disabilities
• Robotics and medical imaging
• Development of new sensors
• Biomedical electronics

Our research activities are supported by a wide range of national and international funding bodies, including the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Union, the Ibero-American Programme for Science and Technology, the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, the Generalitat Valenciana, and Fundación MAPFRE. The group also coordinates the “Bidons Egara” Research Chair in Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Our distinctive strength lies in the synergistic collaboration among all members of the team, enabling us to address the complex interactions between living systems and artificial systems from an integrative perspective.

We have extensive experience in the development of high-level technological projects. The multidisciplinary nature of our team is essential to this work: engineers, surgeons, physiologists, biologists, and neurologists collaborate closely in a coordinated manner. The Institute of Bioengineering of the Universidad Miguel Hernández, together with the CIBER-BBN (Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine), of which the group has been a member since 2008, provides an optimal environment for conducting this type of research.
