UChicago scientists are making major progress on a technology designed to give nuanced “feeling” to prosthetic hands, by ...

Researchers are paving the way for the design of bionic limbs that feel natural to users. They demonstrate the connection ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

implementing and refining brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and robotic prosthetic arms aimed at restoring both motor control and sensation in people who have lost significant limb function.

The human might break a limb, the cat might land gracefully ... how these animals use neural communications to coordinate and control movement within a dynamic environment. What they discover could ...

The brain-computer interface team at The Second ... While the patient envisioned hand grasping and upper-limb motions, data was collected to help calibrate the BCI for better control of the ...

A great example comes from the neural wiring of the corticospinal tract (CST), which is a pathway that sends messages from the brain to moving limbs. This pathway depends on the crossing of ...

Join STAT and NOVA for a discussion on the documentary “Augmented,” exploring the pioneering amputation surgery described in the film and new advances in brain-controlled prosthetic limbs.
