A rare circulatory problem required Emily Wheldon to have her left arm amputated three years ago. Her brain still thinks it's there. "Most days, it just feels like I've got my arm next to me," she ...

Researchers are paving the way for the design of bionic limbs that feel natural to users. They demonstrate the connection ...

Led by Professor Duan Feng of Nankai University, Chinese researchers have carried out what they call the world’s first human trial of a brain-computer interface implanted through blood vessels, ...

A brain-computer interface, surgically placed in a research participant with tetraplegia, paralysis in all four limbs, provided an unprecedented level of control over a virtual quadcopter -- just by ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers found that the brain’s control center for a lost appendage can persist long after surgical amputation, which stands in stark contrast to longstanding theories ...

Two new articles document progress in neuroprosthetic technology that lets people feel the shape and movement of objects moving over the 'skin' of a bionic hand. You can probably complete an amazing ...

The brain holds space for a missing limb, even years after it’s gone. For three women who underwent planned hand amputations, brain scans revealed remarkably durable maps of hand areas, lasting for ...
