NSF SCIENCE NOW: EPISODE 47

The video discusses three NSF-funded research projects. The first project, led by Princeton University, developed the Predator system to prevent domain abuse by identifying malicious domain registrations. The second project, from the University of Maryland, explores how aging affects hearing and brain processing, finding that older adults need more time to process speech. The third project, by the University of Washington, aims to restore the sense of touch for amputees and paralyzed individuals using Ecog stimulation. These projects highlight advancements in cybersecurity, neuroscience, and bioengineering.

Describe the method used by the University of Washington team to restore the sense of touch.

What future developments does the research team hope to achieve regarding prosthetics and neural devices?
