Devices which could be used to rehabilitate the arms and hands of people who have experienced a stroke have been...
Researchers create functioning synapse using carbon nanotubes. Devices might be used in brain prostheses, or combined into a massive network...
Engineers work to design prosthetic arm that allows amputees to feel what they touch. Engineering researchers at four U.S. universities...
Sandia National Laboratories researchers, using off-the-shelf equipment in a chemistry lab, have been working on ways to improve amputees’ control...
New brain-machine interfaces that exploit the plasticity of the brain may allow people to control prosthetic devices in a natural...
Using tiny solar-panel-like cells surgically placed underneath the retina, scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a...
When people close their eyes, they can form mental images of things that exist only in their minds. Neuroscientists studying...
Robots equipped with tactile sensor able to identify materials through touch, paving the way for more useful prostheses. What does...
Researchers developed an artificial cerebellum (a biologically-inspired adaptive microcircuit) that controls a robotic arm with human-like precision.
Using piezoelectric materials, researchers have replicated the muscle motion of the human eye to control camera systems in a way designed to improve the operation of robots. This new muscle-like action could help make robotic tools safer and more effective for MRI-guided surgery and robotic rehabilitation.
Millions of people suffering from multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries or amputees could soon interact with their computers and surroundings using just their eyes, thanks to a new device that costs less than £40 (~$63).
Georgia Tech researchers have created a wireless, musical glove that may improve sensation and motor skills for people with paralyzing spinal cord injury (SCI).
