Yan Wong Laboratory
Neurobionics - developing neural prostheses
Welcome to the Yan Wong Lab
The development of neural prostheses is emerging as an exciting new frontier, bridging cutting edge engineering techniques with neuroscience research. Our lab is working to improve and develop a wide range of neural prostheses, including Brain Machine Interfaces for upper limb control, bionic eyes, and cochlear implants.
We're a joint research group and part of both the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, where we are a member of the Neuroscience Program and the Department of Physiology, and also part of the Faculty of Engineering, where we are a member of the Department of Electrical and Computer Science Engineering.

Our research
Working to improve and develop a wide range of neural prostheses, we are particularly interested in developing new technologies such as brain machine interfaces, and using novel neuroscience approaches like the local field potential to improve the efficacy of devices. On the basic neuroscience side, we study the role of the local field potentials in communication across brain areas and potential roles in multi-effector decision making, reward learning and movement planning.
