brain-controlled prostheses

The machine cannot be used outside of the lab yet, but the results are promising.

Scientists recreate proprioception for people with artificial arms using a perceptual illusion.

A quadriplegic 28-year-old man senses touch via stimulation of electrodes implanted in his somatosensory cortex.

The melding of mind and machine uncovers mysteries harbored in the brain.

Author Malcolm Gay explores the science underlying headline-making research into neural prosthetics.

Researchers network the brains of three monkeys to create a “living computer” that can steer an image of a robotic arm toward a target.

A paralyzed woman has used mind power and a robotic arm wirelessly connected to her brain to achieve the most dexterous movement yet accomplished with BMI.

Linking the human nervous system to computers is providing unprecedented control of artificial limbs and restoring lost sensory function.

Artificial limbs and their wearers achieve more sensitive communication thanks to engineering advances.

The agency OKs the first prosthetic arm controlled by neural signals from the user’s muscles.

Researchers develop a mind-controlled, prosthetic hand for a quadriplegic patient.

A pair of mechanical leg braces that are controlled by their wearer’s brain signals could help paralyzed patients walk again.

Bionic fingers. Rewired nerves. Science fiction becomes reality as scientists attempt to give prosthetics a sense of touch.

Because of a lack of touch, upper-limb prosthetic users must look at their prosthetic hands the whole time they use them. Unfortunately, the prosthetics research community has put most of its efforts into making arms with wider ranges of motion and m
