Prof. Dr. Eduardo Fernandez is a Professor of Cellular Biology, Chairman of the Department of Histology and Anatomy at the University Miguel Hernández (Spain), and Director of the Neuroengineering and Neuroprosthesis Unit at the Bioengineering Institute. He received an M.D. degree from the University of Alicante (1986) and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience with honors in 1990. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Utah (USA), the University of Oldenburg (Germany), Beth Israel Medical Deaconess Center (USA), and the University of Vienna (Austria). His research interests are in developing solutions to the problems raised by interfacing with the human nervous system and, on this basis, developing two-way direct communication with neurons and ensembles of neurons. He is actively working on the development of neuroprostheses and brain–machine interfaces. In the last 5 years, he has been using histological and electrophysiological techniques to assess the response to implantation and general biocompatibility issues regarding intracortical microelectrodes. He is also working on brain plasticity and reorganization in severe vision loss and developing non-invasive methodologies for the selection of appropriate candidates for the implantation of visual neuroprosthesis.
