Reconnecting muscle pairs during surgery following amputation provides patients more sensory feedback from the limb, researchers report. Read More
Sensory signals transmitted from a prosthetic leg to the nervous system helps amputees perceive their prosthetic limb as part of their body. The new neurofeedback helps them perceive the new limb as significantly lighter. 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
