In this episode, Oakley and Temidola speak with Dr. Juhi Farooqui, a neurotechnology and neuroethics researcher with a PhD in Neural Computation from Carnegie Mellon University, about access and inclusion in the development of somatosensory neuroprostheses which are devices that restore the sense of touch for people with limb loss. They discuss the disparities that shape who receives quality amputation care, what it means to use a human-centered design framework that brings communities into the research process, and how Dr. Farooqui navigates building trust with communities of color in research settings.
