Advances for Prosthetic Technology: From Historical Perspective to Current Status to Future Application

Dr. Robert LeMoyne presently is an Adjunct Professor for Northern Arizona University for the Department of Biological Sciences and an Adjunct Professor for Czech Technical University in Prague for the Department of Biomedical Technology. Dr. LeMoyne is researching advanced concepts for prosthetic technology, such as machine learning, which is an aspect of artificial intelligence. His Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering was earned at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) (2010). He has first authored more than 150 technical proceedings, including six books, which have been cited more than 2000 times, spanning a broad array of subjects, such as an assortment of applications for advanced concepts for prosthetic technology.

Timothy Mastroianni is a cognitive scientist, researcher, and entrepreneur. He pioneered the non-invasive use of computer vision and pattern recognition to uncover the internal states of random number generators in machines (HiLoClient2002). Mastroianni developed the first model and algorithms capable of predicting a person’s thoughts using machine learning and fMRI, presenting these groundbreaking methods at Carnegie Mellon University to map the human brain and identify brain states during specific tasks. He is also the founder of Cognition Engineering, a subsidiary of Cognition International LLC.
