Intraneural stimulation elicits discrimination of textural features by artificial fingertip in intact and amputee humans

Intraneural stimulation elicits discrimination of textural features by artificial fingertip in intact and amputee humans

Restoration of touch after hand amputation is a desirable feature of ideal prostheses. Here, we show that texture discrimination can be artificially provided in human subjects by implementing a neuromorphic real-time mechano-neuro-transduction (MNT), which emulates to some extent the firing dynamics...
