Future Goals


• To develop a new strategy for motor control of functional hand prostheses based on electrical signals generated from multiple muscle electrodes or microchips implanted in the peripheral or central nervous system

• To use piezoresistive sensors (sensors based on pressure) or sensors based on detecting vibrotactile stimuli using hearing sense to create artificial sensibility in a prosthesis or a hand with sensory dysfunction
