This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in neuroprosthetic technology. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Most disorders of the nervous system result from localized sensory or motor pathologies attributable to disease or trauma. The emerging field of neuroprosthetics is focused on the development of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For over a generation several types of medical neuroprosthetics have been developed, which have improved the lives of thousands of individuals. For instance, cochlear implants ...

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 ...

Neuroprosthetics, a technology that allows the brain to control external devices such as robotic limbs, is beginning to emerge as a viable option for patients disabled by amputation or neurological ...

Scientists at EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland have announced the creation of a world’s first for robotic hand control—a new type of neuroprosthetic that unifies human ...

“I was completely amazed,” Kochevar told MIT Technology Review. In a lab at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, he sipped from a straw and fed himself for the first time in a decade.

Whenever I hear that some awesome technology is "twenty years away" my eyebrow inadvertently raises with suspicion. Cold fusion, male birth control, flying cars, and the cure for most diseases are all ...

The scientists formulated a speech neuroprosthetic which decodes brain waves from the patient's brain. This gave a paralyzed man the chance to speak again. jesse orrico from Unsplash A paralyzed man ...

Scientists have successfully tested new neuroprosthetic technology that combines robotic control with users' voluntary control, opening avenues in the new interdisciplinary field of shared control for ...
