A new MRI study reveals the brain retains neural 'fingerprints' of a missing hand, decades after amputation and regardless of whether the person experiences phantom limb sensations.
A newly developed simultaneous brain-machine interface allowed a quadriplegic man to control two prosthetic arms with the power of his mind.
EEG and brain machine interface allows amputees to move a prosthetic hand, a new study reports.
Researchers are developing a sophisticated prosthetic hand that can be directly controlled by the thoughts of the user.
DARPA's HAPTIX program seeks to provide amputees with natural touch sensations.
According to researchers, a reorganization of wiring in the brain could be an underlying cause of phantom limb pain experienced by amputees.
Researchers use non-invasive EEG technology to allow people to move a robotic arm with the power of their minds.
Having identified a new, simpler way to study neural activity, researchers believe they are on track to creating a compact, low power and potentially wireless brain sensor that could make thought-controlled prosthetic limbs ubiquitous.
Researchers use holographic projection into the brain to activate and suppress neurons. The technology has the ability to copy real patterns of brain activity and trick the brain into perceiving sensory information. The technology could have implications for the development of new prosthetics and brain implants.
Researchers have developed a sensor-instrumented glove for prosthetic hand controls which can sense pressure, temperature, and hydration using electronic chips sending sensory data via a wristwatch.
New research allows those with robotic controlled prosthetic legs to walk almost as fast as an able bodied person.
After a year of using a bionic arm, patients report subjective sensations did not shift to match the location of the touch sensor on their prosthetic device.
