FeaturedNeuroscience·January 8, 2021·3 min readPerceiving Prosthesis as Lighter Thanks to NeurofeedbackSensory 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
