Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury
can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the …

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) combine methods, approaches, and concepts derived from
neurophysiology, computer science, and engineering in an effort to establish real-time …

Neurons in cortical circuits are often coactivated as ensembles, yet it is unclear whether
ensembles play a functional role in behavior. Some ensemble neurons have pattern …

Neuroprosthetics is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between neurosciences and
biomedical engineering, which aims at replacing or modulating parts of the nervous system …

The mechanistic link between neural circuit activity and behavior remains unclear. While
manipulating cortical activity can bias certain behaviors and elicit artificial percepts, some …

The sense of proprioception allows us to keep track of our limb posture and movements and
the sense of touch provides us with information about objects with which we come into …

Pioneering work with nonhuman primates and recent human studies established
intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) as a method of …

Intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex offers the potential for creating a
sensory neuroprosthesis to restore tactile sensation. Whereas animal studies have …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

The study of decision making spans such varied fields as neuroscience, psychology,
economics, statistics, political science, and computer science. Despite this diversity of …
