A newly developed simultaneous brain-machine interface allowed a quadriplegic man to control two prosthetic arms with the power of his mind.
DARPA's HAPTIX program seeks to provide amputees with natural touch sensations.
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.
Researchers have developed new software that allows powered prosthetics to automatically tune themselves, making the limbs more functionally useful.
An innovative new clinical trial seeks to explore how the brain adapts to bionic arms in children born without limbs. The study aims to improve prosthetics mastery in children.
A new study reports neurons in the somatosensory cortex respond differently to various features of a surface, creating a high dimensional representation of texture in the brain. The findings could help develop neuroprosthetics capable of identifying textures in greater detail.
A quadriplegic woman moves a robotic arm and hand in 10 dimensions with "mind control".
A new study could pave the way to the creation of a new generation of self learning and easy to use neuroprosthetic devices.
A newly developed sensor for prosthetic arms can detect spinal motor neuron signals, a new study reports.
Polydactyly, a condition where one is born with an extra finger, has significant benefits when it comes to motor skill and control. fMRI neuroimaging reveals those with extra fingers are able to move the digits independently of other fingers. The findings could help with the development of new prosthetics that extend motor abilities.
A new bionic fingertip that is surgically connected to nerves in the upper arm allows amputees to feel texture, a new study reports.
Researchers record the neural activity of monkeys as the plan to reach in order to design better neuroprosthetics.
