EEG and brain machine interface allows amputees to move a prosthetic hand, a new study reports.
New discoveries about neuroplasticity following vision loss could improve patient susceptibility to sensory prosthetics.
Researchers have found a way to produce realistic sensations of touch in two human amputees by directly stimulating the nervous system.
Using a brain machine interface, monkeys learn to control the movement of two virtual arms, a new study reports.
Researchers have developed a new deep brain stimulation device that is able to use feedback from the brain to fine tune its signal. The device could help those with Parkinson's disease.
Spinal cord stimulation restores the sense of feeling of limbs lost to amputation.
A newly developed sensor for prosthetic arms can detect spinal motor neuron signals, a new study reports.
Researchers have developed flexible, optogenetic implants that can activate and block pain in the body before the signals reach the brain.
Building a robotic bat wing, researchers have uncovered flight secrets of real bats: the function of ligaments, the elasticity of skin, the structural support of musculature, skeletal flexibility, upstroke and downstroke.
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.
Researchers report a patient has been able to use a mind-controlled prosthesis to move individual digits without extensive training.
Researchers are one step closer to developing a prosthetic arm that can recreate a sense of touch through a direct brain interface.
