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

Most wearable robots such as exoskeletons and prostheses can operate with dexterity,
while wearers do not perceive them as part of their bodies. In this perspective, we contend …

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

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 …

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 …

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

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

Current myoelectric prostheses allow transradial amputees to regain voluntary motor control
of their artificial limb by exploiting residual muscle function in the forearm. However, the …

Carrying out any everyday task, be it driving in traffic, conversing with friends or playing
basketball, requires rapid selection, integration and segregation of stimuli from different …

A long-standing engineering ambition has been to design anthropomorphic bionic limbs:
devices that look like and are controlled in the same way as the biological body …
