Scientists are pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) by using brain stimulation to evoke a sense of touch in users of a bionic arm. The device, which ...

You can probably complete an amazing number of tasks with your hands without looking at them. But if you put on gloves that muffle your sense of touch, many of those simple tasks become frustrating.

In two recent studies led by UChicago scientists, users of a bionic hand were able to “feel” sensation in such detail that ...

Two new articles document progress in neuroprosthetic technology that lets people feel the shape and movement of objects moving over the 'skin' of a bionic hand.

Prosthetics have come a long way from the simple wooden legs and hooks of the past. Today, advanced prosthetics can mimic the ...

Summary: Researchers are making strides in restoring touch sensations to prosthetic limbs through brain stimulation. By using ...

This system allows users to control prosthetic limbs by thinking about movement, while sensors on the limb transmit touch sensations back to the brain through intracortical micros ...

Researchers spent years working with two patients who had suffered spinal cord injuries that left them unable to control ...
