Brain-Controlled Bionic Hand Offers Most Advanced Artificial Touch Yet | The new brain-computer interface device goes "beyond anything that has been done before," the researchers claim.
The new brain-computer interface device goes "beyond anything that has been done before," the researchers claim.
Across a series of experiments, the researchers were able to translate and relay sensations tied to motion, curvature, and orientation that allowed the volunteers to perform complicated tasks with their bionic limb. Some scientists have begun to use intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of the brain’s somatosensory cortex to bridge this gap, since experiments have shown that such stimulation can produce vivid tactile sensations on people’s skin. “While contact location and force are critical feedback components, the sense of touch is far richer than this, also conveying information about the texture, material properties, local contours, and about the motion of objects across the skin.
