People with Prosthetic Arms Less Affected by Common Illusion
University of Exeter researchers report people with prosthetic arms are not able to experience the 'size-weight' illusion as strongly as those without missing limbs.... Read More...
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.... Read More...
Evolutionary Algorithm Helps Replicate Brain’s Circuitry to Direct a Realistic Prosthetic Arm
Researchers believe the adolescent brain may be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol as it is still developing and less robust than adults' brains.... Read More...
