Losing a limb is a life-altering experience, but what if technology could restore not just mobility, but also a sense of ...

"Such favorable dynamics encourage optimism regarding the prospects for a widespread adoption of neural prosthetics with sensory feedback. It also underscores the utility of studies like our own ...

Shattered Nerves by Victor Chase is a comprehensive and easily readable survey of the field of neural prosthetics—devices that interact with the nervous system to restore or replace lost neural ...

Using functional MRI brain imaging, University of Oregon researchers have unraveled some of the neural circuitry behind these kinds of actions. "While there are already robotic arms or ...

This information is then used to control the prosthetic hand ... The tests showed that combined neural and postural synergies allowed accurate and natural control of coordinated multidigit ...

Prostheses are a great help to those who have ... This is done through a TensorFlow-based neural network which analyses the ultrasound data to determine which finger the user is trying to move.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) resulting in severe paralysis is known to deteriorate the quality of life of humans. However, the ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI)-a condition that leads to partial or complete paralysis-has a profound impact on millions of ...

“Right now there’s no robust neural method for a person with limb amputation to feel proprioceptive positions and forces applied to the prosthesis. Imagine how that would completely hinder ...

My career has been devoted to understanding neural computation, both for its own sake and for the sake of making neural prosthesis that restore and augment human function. My specific research has ...

From 2004 to 2009, Pancrazio was program director for the neural engineering and neural prosthesis program at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which is part of the NIH. He ...
