‘Music of Speech’ Linked to Brain Area Unique to Humans

Researchers reveal the area of the brain that controls our voice box, allowing us to alter the pitch of our speech. The insight could pave the way for advancing neuroprosthetics to allow people who can't speak, to express themselves in a naturalistic way.

“Neuroprosthesis” Restores Words to Man with Paralysis

A newly developed speech neuroprosthesis has restored a voice to a severely paralyzed man. The technology translates signals from the brain to the vocal tracts, generating words on a screen.

A Blueprint for Restoring Touch With a Prosthetic Hand

Researchers develop a new blueprint for touch-sensitive prosthetic limbs. The findings could someday convey real-time sensory information for amputees.

This is a drawing of a monkey controlling the cursor on a computer monitor. There are waves drawn above the monkey's head to imply that it is using thought to move the cursor.

A Way to Restore Movement Sensation in Upper Limb Amputation Patients

Researchers have developed a new method of restoring movement sensation for upper limb amputees. The researchers used small robots to vibrate muscles in order to 'turn on' movement sensations.

Advanced Artificial Limbs Mapped in the Brain

Following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation, a procedure that reroutes residual limb nerves to intact muscles and skin in amputees, the brain remaps both motor and sensory pathways. Additionally, researchers note, TMSR may help counteract poorly adapted cortical plasticity following amputation.

Amputees Can Learn to Control a Robotic Arm with Their Minds

Researchers report amputees are able to control a robotic arm with help of brain implants and BMI technology. The study details how brain areas that control both the intact arm and amputated limb can create new connections and learn to control the robotic arm, even years following the loss of a limb.
