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. Read More

Researchers develop a new blueprint for touch-sensitive prosthetic limbs. The findings could someday convey real-time sensory information for amputees. Read More
Researchers have developed a technique to make brain controlled prosthetics more precise. A pilot clinical trial of the neuroprosthesis is underway for people with paralysis and ALS. Read More
AI-controlled robotic limb driven by animal-like tendons can be tripped and recover before the next foot step, though not programmed to do so. Read More
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. Read More
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. Read More
A new study uses retinal prosthetics to assess the brain's ability to process visual information years after blindness occurs. Read More
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.

Amputees are able to regain sense of touch and 'feel' with their prosthetic hands, thanks to new technological advances. Read More
Researchers report that in a patient who lost their hand almost three decades ago, the brain maintains an accurate representation of the missing fingers. Read More
A newly developed artificial neural connection device allows new cortical sites, previously not associated with limb movements, to swiftly regain the control of a paralyzed hand. Read More
