A groundbreaking clinical trial at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has successfully demonstrated a new prosthetic limb capable of restoring the sense of touch. The participant is a U.S. soldier with a below-the-elbow amputation who volunteered to test the neural-enabled device. This advanced system utilizes implanted electrodes to stimulate nerves in the upper arm...

New computer-linked brain implants offer hope to those who have lost the ability to speak or move.

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years of research, this type of prosthesis is not widely used because it leads to rapid muscle fatigue and poor control. MIT researchers have developed a new approach that they […] The post MIT scientists …

CNS 2015 Press Release March 30, 2015 – San Francisco – Neuroscientists are taking inspiration from natural motor control to design new prosthetic devices that can better replace limb function. In new work, researchers have tested a range of brain-controlled devices – from wheelchairs to robots to advanced limbs – that work with their users […] The post Intelligent Neuroprostheses Mimic Natural M…

A paralysed woman who controlled a robotic arm using just her thoughts has taken another step towards restoring her natural movements by controlling the arm with a range of complex hand movements. Thanks to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, Jan Scheuermann, who has longstanding quadriplegia and has been taking part in the study for over two years, has gone from giving “high fives” to t…

Neuroprosthetics and robot rehabilitation wake up the ‘spinal brain’ and restore voluntary movement. Rats with spinal cord injuries and severe paralysis are now walking (and running) thanks to researchers at EPFL. Published in the June 1, 2012 issue of Science, the results show that a severed section of the spinal cord can make a comeback when its own innate intelligence and regenerative capacity…

I’m on the road (attending a symposium at MIT: New Insights on Early Life Stress and Mental Health) so this one’s going to be brief. Neural prosthetics are an exciting interface between basic research and technology, an area where the path from fundamental discoveries in the organization and function of the brain to translational advances has been remarkably clear. Cochlear implants have already …

Devices to help paralysed patients work computers set to get even faster. Five years ago, Matt Nagle was stabbed, leaving him paralysed in all four limbs. But since then, he has been able to use a modified computer to open e-mails, adjust the volume on his television, move a robotic arm and even play the computer game Pong. These powers came courtesy of a tiny square of electronic gadgetry implan…
