Neurological insults, such as congenital blindness, deafness, amputation, and stroke, often
result in surprising and impressive behavioural changes. Cortical reorganisation, which …

Following arm amputation the region that represented the missing hand in primary
somatosensory cortex (S1) becomes deprived of its primary input, resulting in changed …

Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation.
This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our …

Intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex offers the potential for creating a
sensory neuroprosthesis to restore tactile sensation. Whereas animal studies have …

Textbooks teach us that the removal of sensory input to sensory cortex, for example,
following arm amputation, results in massive reorganisation in the adult brain. In this opinion …

Despite the increasing incidence and prevalence of amputation across the globe,
individuals with acquired limb loss continue to struggle with functional recovery and chronic …

Tactile feedback from brain-controlled bionic hands can be partially restored via intracortical
microstimulation (ICMS) of the primary somatosensory cortex. In ICMS, the location of …

Up to 90% of amputees experience sensations in their phantom limb, often including strong,
persistent phantom limb pain (PLP). Standard treatments do not provide relief for the …
