After a year of using a bionic arm, patients report subjective sensations did not shift to match the location of the touch sensor on their prosthetic device. Read More
A newly developed simultaneous brain-machine interface allowed a quadriplegic man to control two prosthetic arms with the power of his mind. Read More
Researchers have developed a new model that represents the planning of movement from seeing an object to grasping it. Read More
The brain processes motor commands, not just through fine muscle contractions, but also via higher-level motor areas that provide a blueprint for performing more complex motor functions, such as grasping, no matter if the toes or fingers are used. Read More
Combining machine learning with neuroprosthetic technology allowed a patient with paralysis to learn to control a computer cursor by utilizing brain activity without extensive daily retraining. Read More
A new wireless intracortical brain-computer interface neuroprosthesis is capable of gathering and transmitting accurate neural signals, using a tenth of the power required by current wire-enabled systems. Read More
Researchers reduced the power requirements of neural interfaces while improving their accuracy by tuning into a subset of brain waves. Read More
Spinal cord stimulation restores the sense of feeling of limbs lost to amputation. Read More
A visual cortical prosthesis can restore sight by bypassing damage to the eyes and delivering visual information retrieved from a camera directly to the brain. Read More
A prosthetic arm that is attached to the bone and controlled by electrodes implanted in nerves and muscles can operate more precisely than conventional prosthetic limbs. Researchers improved the neuroprosthetic hand by integrating tactile sensory feedback, so the patient can "feel" items. Read More
Study provides new evidence supporting the theory that perceptual limitations are caused by a correlated noise in neural activity. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method to record brain activity at scale. The new technique could help in the development of new neuroprosthetic devices to help amputees and those with movement restricting neurological conditions. Read More
