Richard A. Normann

Richard A. Normann is a Distinguished Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Utah. He is known for inventing the Utah array in-vivo electrode array for brain–computer interfaces and is presently on the advisory committee of the White House BRAIN Initiative.[1][2][3] He received his PhD in 1973 from UC Berkeley in electrical engineering.[4] He received an honorary doctorate in 2012 from Miguel Hernández University in Elche, Spain.[5]

The Utah array was first developed, under his guidance and this technology is currently in use at other centres around the world, where it provides a vital link between the central nervous systems of rats, cats, monkeys and other laboratory animals, and the computers used to study their brain patterns.[6]
