Engineering Tomorrow's Responsive, Adaptable Neuroprosthetics and Robots
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/15/2017

Advanced prosthetic limbs and eyes as well as brain-machine interfaces are
harnessing existing neural circuitry to improve the quality of life for
people with sensory impairment, according to studies presented today at
Neuroscience 2017, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the
world's largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.

Millions of people around the world are unable to fully use their bodies or
senses due to disease, injury, or amputation. At best, modern therapies and
prostheses only partially restore function. Over the past 20 years, advances
in biomedical engineering have led to the development of interfaces between
prosthetic devices, the nervous system, and human tissue that are enhancing
the effectiveness of biomedical devices.
