Christian Klaes

Prof. Dr. Christian Klaes leads the KlaesLab at the Ruhr-University Bochum's Department of Neurotechnology, focusing on advanced neuroprostheses and assistive devices for paralysis rehabilitation. His work integrates neuroscience, machine learning, and virtual reality to decode brain signals for controlling exoskeletons and BCI systems.

• Key research areas: Brain-Computer Interfaces, Neural Implants, VR-based Neurorehabilitation, and AI-driven Medical Diagnostics
• Collaborations with Caltech, German Primate Center, and University of Madeira expand his interdisciplinary impact.

Recent publications highlight advancements in EEG decoding accuracy, spike sorting algorithms, and somatosensory feedback systems, demonstrating his lab's contributions to neural signal processing and embedded AI platforms for future implants.

Current projects include developing smart upper-limb exoskeletons, exploring terahertz brain imaging, and pioneering phantom touch illusions for sensory augmentation in VR environments.
