He graduated in Medicine from the University of S\u00e3o Paulo, with a PhD in General Physiology also from USP, and a post-doctorate in Physiology and Biophysics from Hahnemann University (USA). He is Professor Emeritus at Duke University, after having been a Full Professor in the Department of Neurobiology, and taught at this university from 1994 to 2021 in the departments of Neurobiology, Psychology and Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Neurology, and the School of Medicine. In addition to his contributions as a professor, he founded and directed the Center for Neuroengineering at Duke University for 20 years.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

He is a pioneer in brain-machine interface (BMI) research. During his career, he has led studies investigating the neurophysiological principles of mammalian neural circuits, the development of different types of BMIs, and their application in restoring movement in people with paralysis and Parkinson's disease. To date, he has published 223 scientific articles in multiple high-impact scientific journals, such as Nature and Science.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In Brazil, he founded the Alberto Santos Dumont Association for Research Support \u2013 which he has chaired for 20 years, and the Santos Dumont Institute.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

He founded and directed the Walk Again Project, a project aimed at people with spinal cord injuries at the paraplegic level, and which developed: 1) the first brain-controlled lower limb exoskeleton; 2) the neurorehabilitation protocol based on the application of gait training associated with the use of ICM, virtual reality and sensory substitution; 3) the 16-channel functional electrical stimulation system controlled by the brain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

He is a member of the French and Brazilian Academies of Sciences. In 2004, Scientific American magazine named him one of the 20 greatest scientists of our time. In 2015, the American magazine Foreign Policy named him one of the 100 most influential thinkers in the world. Among the international awards he has received are the \u201cDirector's Pioneer Award\u201d and the \u201cDirector's Transformative R01 Award\u201d, granted by the National Institutes of Health (USA); the \u201cIEEE Daniel E. Noble Award for Emerging Technologies\u201d granted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (USA); and the \u201cClaude Shannon Luminary Award\u201d, granted by Nokia Bell Labs (USA).\u00a0<\/p>

He is the author of the books: \u201cFar beyond our self: the new neuroscience that unites brains and machines \u2013 and how it can change our lives\u201d; \u201cMade in Maca\u00edba \u2013 the story of the creation of a scientific-social utopia in the former empire of the Tapuias\u201d; \u201cThe Relativistic Brain \u2013 how it works and why it cannot be simulated by a Turing machine\u201d; \u201cThe true creator of everything \u2013 how the human brain sculpted the universe we know\u201d and \u201cNothing will be the same again\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
