Pioneering studies suggested that motor information in the cortex is coded through the combined actions of large populations of widely tuned neurons rather than by small numbers of highly tuned ...

A new concept construction robot has been developed for disaster relief situations. This robot has a double swing dual arm mechanism and has drastically improved operability and mobility compared to ...

Implantation of a brain-computer interface (BCI) into tetraplegic participants allowed for consistent control of a robotic arm and hand for reaching and grasping, according to a study performed at the ...

Pre-clinical experiments suggest that electrical stimulation of surviving nerves of the upper spinal cord damaged by severe injury will allow individuals with limited arm function to partially regain ...

Harvard researchers have developed a personalized control system for a soft wearable shoulder robot that significantly improves arm mobility in individuals with stroke or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

Most brain-computer interfaces run in only one direction, with a system either picking up on brain activity to tell it how to operate or sending out electrical impulses of its own to smooth out any ...

HOUSTON, Texas — An implanted device that stimulates the vagus nerve has shown promising improvement of arm function in stroke patients in a second small clinical study. While the primary endpoint — ...
