ah co-investigators are Normann, who will enhance the electrode array's capabilities for operating the bionic arm; bioengineering Professor Patrick Tresco, who will test the interface device and its components to ensure they are safe when implanted in people; Reid Harrison, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, who will develop miniature electronic components such as amplifiers and signal processors; and Florian Solzbacher, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, who will fabricate the array's components, put them together and encapsulate the device so it can survive when implanted in people.

Clark says the fact the University of Utah was chosen for the project "is a testament to the high quality of research that has been conducted here, and to the expertise of the many investigators on the research team."
