Advances in our understanding of brain function, along with the development of neural
interfaces that allow for the monitoring and activation of neurons, have paved the way for …

The first decade and a half of the twenty-first century brought about two major innovations in
neuroprosthetics: the development of anthropomorphic robotic limbs that replicate much of …

State-of-the-art prosthetic hands nearly match the dexterity of the human hand, and
sophisticated approaches have been developed to control them intuitively. However …

Since the original demonstration that electrical activity generated by ensembles of cortical
neurons can be employed directly to control a robotic manipulator, research on brain …

Bionic prostheses have restorative potential. However, the complex interplay between
intuitive motor control, proprioception, and touch that represents the hallmark of human …

Even though the hand comprises only 1% of our body weight, about 30% of our central
nervous systems (CNS) capacity is related to its control. The loss of a hand thus presents not …

Despite previous studies on the restoration of tactile sensation to the fingers and the hand,
there are no examples of use of the routed sensory information to finely control a prosthestic …

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) establish direct communications between the brain and
artificial actuators. As such, they hold considerable promise for restoring mobility and …

We describe use of a bidirectional neuromyoelectric prosthetic hand that conveys
biomimetic sensory feedback. Electromyographic recordings from residual arm muscles …
