The hand endows us with unparalleled precision and versatility in our interactions with
objects, from mundane activities such as grasping to extraordinary ones such as virtuoso …

Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury
can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the …

Restoring somatosensory feedback in individuals with lower-limb amputations would reduce
the risk of falls and alleviate phantom limb pain. Here we show, in three individuals with …

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

Artificial communication with the brain through peripheral nerve stimulation shows promising
results in individuals with sensorimotor deficits. However, these efforts lack an intuitive and …

Lower limb amputation (LLA) destroys the sensory communication between the brain and
the external world during standing and walking. Current prostheses do not restore sensory …

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 …

Microstimulation in the somatosensory cortex can evoke artificial tactile percepts and can be
incorporated into bidirectional brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) to restore function after …

In individuals with sensory-motor impairments, missing limb functions can be restored using
neuroprosthetic devices that directly interface with the nervous system. However, restoring …

A long-standing engineering ambition has been to design anthropomorphic bionic limbs:
devices that look like and are controlled in the same way as the biological body …
