# Johns Hopkins University **Entity class:** Organization or institution **Domain:** Research Institution / Neuroscience / Biomedical Engineering **Doc Type:** Institution Node **Primary Sources:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]]; [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] ## Neurotechnology roles in this cluster **Johns Hopkins University** appears through several distinct neurotechnology relationships: - [[wiki/Gislin Dagnelie|Gislin Dagnelie]] is cited as a vision-prosthetics expert assessing claims about cortical visual restoration. - The Applied Physics Laboratory appears among the performer institutions in the [[wiki/DARPA N3|DARPA N3]] nonsurgical-neurotechnology program. - Thomas Hartung and collaborators are associated with the formalization and ethics agenda of [[wiki/Organoid Intelligence|organoid intelligence]]. These are separate institutional edges—faculty expertise, an affiliated laboratory's program participation, and a research field's development—not evidence of one centrally directed neurotechnology program. ## Router role This note is the institutional bridge for Johns Hopkins neurotechnology references. Project-specific claims should remain attached to the appropriate person, laboratory, or program node. ## Relationships **Related cluster nodes:** [[wiki/Gislin Dagnelie|Gislin Dagnelie]] · [[wiki/DARPA N3|DARPA N3]] · [[wiki/Organoid Intelligence|Organoid Intelligence]] · [[wiki/Brain-Computer Interfaces|Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry's documented connections are expressed in its definition and related-work routes, with provenance retained in the source-linked material. <!-- END HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> ## Related Work in the Corpus <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> - In [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]], **IX.4 — Institutional Geography** provides the narrative context for **Johns Hopkins University**: The institutional geography of brain-grounded computing is concentrated at a relatively small number of centers that combine substantial computational, biological, clinical, and engineering capabilities. - In [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]], **Neuralink: Operational Clinical Program and Regulatory Trajectory** provides the narrative context for **Johns Hopkins University**: Regulatory milestones include FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for Blindsight (September 2024)—Neuralink's visual cortex stimulation implant designed to restore vision in individuals who have lost both eyes or optic nerve… <!-- END HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 -->
