The $9.9 million research project will allow a dozen amputees to test a neural-controlled prosthesis that sends touch ...

Researchers have developed a novel training protocol for brain-computer interfaces in a study with rhesus monkeys. The method enables precise control of prosthetic hands using signals from the brain ...

If you've ever wondered what's next for prosthetic technology, you're not alone. For many people living with limb loss, finding a prosthetic that feels natural and works seamlessly with their body has ...

EUGENE, Ore. — March 5, 2025 — Picking up a cup of coffee, flipping a light switch or grabbing a door handle don’t require much apparent thought. But behind the curtain, the brain performs feats to ...

A surgery developed at MIT, called agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), connects muscle remnants from the shin and the calf to allow near-natural movement for those using an advanced ...

Recently, I wrote about a man in Nebraska named Adam Cutshall, who got a 3D-printed finger replacement 20 years after a tragic mishap. He made the mistake of using power tools while intoxicated and ...

Using feedback from the prosthetic hand in the form of electrical impulses, the patients succeeded in distinguishing between items of various sizes, as well as between soft and hard objects by touch.

Phantom limb pain is a common problem for people who undergo amputation, and so is the ability to function even with a regular prosthetic, but a medical advance that sounds like it comes straight out ...

For my doctoral dissertation, I developed a novel myoelectric control algorithm that allows for continuous control of the hand posture including all necessary postures used in activities of daily ...

In a study with rhesus monkeys, neuroscientists at the German Primates Center have investigated how the functionality of brain-computer interfaces and thus also the fine motor skills of ...
