Researchers unify data from two unique brain-machine interfaces to discover how the brain subconsciously organizes prosthetic ...

Scientists are getting closer to something that wouldn’t look out of place in a science fiction film: bionic limbs that can sense and convey touch to their users. In a new study published this week, ...

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. You can probably complete an amazing ...

Researchers are paving the way for the design of bionic limbs that feel natural to users. They demonstrate the connection between hand movement patterns and motoneuron control patterns. The study, ...

Samoana Matagi was one of the four participants in a study that tested the capabilities of a new bionic hand. Here, Matagi wears the bionic hand on one arm and a common prosthetic called a ...

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah engineers have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. Post-doctoral researcher Marshall Trout said a large percentage of amputees who get bionic hands — maybe 20% ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have showcased a new type of bionic leg that can be plugged directly into the patient's brain. The prosthetic is surgically connected to ...

Advances in bionic prosthetics are taking a major step forward. Thanks to recent research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), amputees could soon regain the sensation of walking ...

Laura holds a Master's in Experimental Neuroscience and a Bachelor's in Biology from Imperial College London. Her areas of expertise include health, medicine, psychology, and neuroscience. Laura holds ...

A testing participant controls a bionic hand through a brain-computer interface that allows him to feel pressure changes as the steering wheel moves in the hand. You can probably complete an amazing ...

An illustration showing a paralyzed individual with a spinal cord injury, implanted with intracortical electrodes in the brain. This brain-computer interface (BCI) allows the individual to control a ...
