MIT developed a low-cost prosthetic hand that can help amputees feel again
In a joint project with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, MIT has designed a neuroprosthetic that costs about $500 to build.
Scientists develop neuroprosthetic tech that amputees don't need to learn
For those working in the field of neuroprosthetics, the ultimate goal is to give amputees with artificial limbs natural, intuitive and real-time movement. Indeed, advances in the field have led to mind-controlled systems and even those that create kinaesthetic feedback, but so far such technologies require a great deal of learning and practice by the amputee. Now, however, scientists from the University of Michigan have developed a neuroprosthetic technology that restores intuitive movement to amputees from the get-go -- no learning required.
