Scientists are getting closer to something that wouldn’t look out of place in a science fiction film: bionic limbs that can sense and convey touch to their users. In a new study published this week, ...

CHICAGO - Researchers have come up with new technology that may one day help amputee war veterans: an artificial leg that reads brain signals, and it's already being tested out. The bionic leg that ...

Bionic arms are beginning to tap into nerve signals that linger long after a limb is gone, turning the ghost of movement into real, controllable action. Instead of relying on crude muscle twitches or ...

The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...

A testing participant controls a bionic hand through a brain-computer interface that allows him to feel pressure changes as the steering wheel moves in the hand. You can probably complete an amazing ...

Advances in bionic prosthetics are taking a major step forward. Thanks to recent research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), amputees could soon regain the sensation of walking ...

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah engineers have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. Post-doctoral researcher Marshall Trout said a large percentage of amputees who get bionic hands — maybe 20% ...

An illustration showing a paralyzed individual with a spinal cord injury, implanted with intracortical electrodes in the brain. This brain-computer interface (BCI) allows the individual to control a ...
