The implantation of any foreign material into the body leads to the development of an
inflammatory and fibrotic process—the foreign body reaction (FBR). Upon implantation into a …

Commercial prosthetic devices currently do not provide natural sensory information on the
interaction with objects or movements. The subsequent disadvantages include …

Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia
to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because …

Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury
can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the …

Bionic prostheses have restorative potential. However, the complex interplay between
intuitive motor control, proprioception, and touch that represents the hallmark of human …

We describe use of a bidirectional neuromyoelectric prosthetic hand that conveys
biomimetic sensory feedback. Electromyographic recordings from residual arm muscles …

The human body is a template for many state-of-the-art prosthetic devices and sensors.
Perceptions of touch and pain are fundamental components of our daily lives that convey …

Implantable intracortical microelectrodes can record a neuron's rapidly changing action
potentials (spikes). In vivo neural activity recording methods often have either high temporal …

Peripheral intraneural stimulation can provide tactile information to amputees. However,
efforts are still necessary to identify encoding strategy eliciting percepts that are felt as both …

Neuroprosthetics is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between neurosciences and
biomedical engineering, which aims at replacing or modulating parts of the nervous system …
