Imperial experts included in £15m funding for speculative engineering research

Five researchers from Engineering and Natural Sciences are among those who have received funding from the EPSRC New Horizons initiative. The initiative, which is run by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation , is providing £15 million investment to support 77 new research projects. "The adventurous thinking displayed in these new projects underlines the ingenuity and imagination of our research base." Professor Dame Lynn Gladden EPSRC Executive Chair Projects selected for the funding focus on high-risk, speculative engineering, or information and communication technologies that could have a potentially transformative impact. The researchers that have been funded through New Horizons are: The five research projects have received around £200,000 each in funding from the EPSRC. Next-generation neural interfacing technology. Neural interfaces often use implanted devices which can be invasive or require cumbersome equipment. These issues have previously led to low adoption rates for assistance or consumer devices.
