AI brain-computer interface improves on its own and learns about its subject without having to be programed
Findings Could Help Seamlessly Integrate Prosthetics A University of Houston engineer is reporting in eNeuro that a brain-computer interface, a form of artificial intelligence, can sense when its user is expecting a reward by examining the interactions between single-neuron activities and the information flowing to these neurons, called the local field potential. Professor of biomedical engineering Joe…

Ultrasound technology for individual control of bionic fingers
Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand made possible by ultrasound technology Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand is a step closer to reality for amputees in this galaxy. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created an ultrasonic sensor that allows amputees to control each of their prosthetic fingers individually. It provides fine motor hand gestures that aren’t…

First prosthesis in the world with direct connection to bone, nerves and muscles
Thanks to the electrodes system a stable signal is obtained, which allows precise control like handling an egg without breaking. It also provides sensations as if it were a real hand. The first prosthesis in the world that connects directly to the bone, nerves and muscles, allows the person to experience sensations, free mobility and…
