The cover illustration is the artistic view of a bionic man, as represented in the society’s collective imagination. It presents an unaccomplished dream for this research community: restoring amputees’ sensorimotor control of the natural arms and hands movement to enable them to perform complex bimanual tasks such as playing a piano sonata.
