A quantitative taxonomy of human hand grasps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: A proper modeling of human grasping and of hand movements is fundamental for robotics, prosthetics, physiology and rehabilitation. The taxonomies of hand grasps that have been proposed in scientific literature so far are based on qualitative ...

Restoring Somatosensation: Advantages and Current Limitations of Targeting the Brainstem Dorsal Column Nuclei Complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Current neural prostheses can restore limb movement to tetraplegic patients by translating brain signals coding movements to control a variety of actuators. Fast and accurate somatosensory feedback is essential for normal movement, particularly dexterous

Microstimulation-evoked neural responses in visual cortex are depth dependent

open access: yesBrain Stimulation, 2021
Background: Cortical visual prostheses often use penetrating electrode arrays to deliver microstimulation to the visual cortex. To optimize electrode placement within the cortex, the neural responses to microstimulation at different cortical depths must ...

Neural Prostheses for Reaching

open access: yes, 2009
Advancements in the understanding of the primate motor system and improvements in recording technology have revitalized the idea of a neural prosthesis for restoring motor deficits in paralyzed patients. Several research groups have demonstrated the feasibility of such a brain–computer interface (BCI) by decoding reach movements online in monkeys and ...

Bridging larger gaps in peripheral nerves using neural prosthetics and physical therapeutic agents

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2019
Peripheral nerve injuries are relatively common and can be caused by a variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle accidents. They can lead to long-term disability, pain, and financial burden, and contribute to poor quality of life. In this review,

Sharing of hand kinematic synergies across subjects in daily living activities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The motor system is hypothesised to use kinematic synergies to simplify hand control. Recent studies suggest that there is a large set of synergies, sparse in degrees of freedom, shared across subjects, so that each subject performs each action with a ...

Computational analysis of efficient organic solar cell-based retinal prosthesis using plasmonic gold nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionPhotovoltaic restoration of vision, especially in conjunction with the use of silicon photodiodes, has gained attention for use in patients affected by blindness due to retinal layer disease.
