“…<p>Neuroprosthetic speech devices are an emerging technology that can offer the possibility of communication to those who are unable to speak. …”

Neuroprosthetic baroreflex controls haemodynamics after spinal cord injury by Squair, JW, Gautier, M, Mahe, L, Soriano, JE, Rowald, A, Bichat, A, Cho, N, Anderson, MA, James, ND, Gandar, J, Incognito, AV, Schiavone, G, Sarafis, ZK, Laskaratos, A, Bartholdi, K, Demesmaeker, R, Komi, S, Moerman, C, Vaseghi, B, Scott, B, Rosentreter, R, Kathe, C, Ravier, J, McCracken, L, Kang, X, Vachicouras, N, Fallegger, F, Jelescu, I, Cheng, Y, Li, Q, Buschman, R, Buse, N, Denison, T, Dukelow, S, Charbonneau, R, Rigby, I, Boyd, SK, Millar, PJ, Moraud, EM, Capogrosso, M, Wagner, FB, Barraud, Q, Bezard, E, Lacour, SP, Bloch, J, Courtine, G, Phillips, AA

“…We will now conduct clinical trials to turn the neuroprosthetic baroreflex into a commonly available therapy for people with SCI. …”

Revealing the neural fingerprints of a missing hand. by Kikkert, S, Kolasinski, J, Jbabdi, S, Tracey, I, Beckmann, C, Johansen-Berg, H, Makin, T

“…The discovery of persistent digit topography of amputees' missing hand could be exploited for the development of intuitive and fine-grained control of neuroprosthetics, requiring neural signals of individual digits.…”

Speaker responsibility for synthetic speech derived from neural activity by Rainey, S

“…This paper provides analysis of the mechanisms and outputs involved in language-use mediated by a neuroprosthetic device. It is motivated by the thought that users of speech neuroprostheses require sufficient control over what their devices externalise as synthetic speech if they are to be thought of as responsible for it, but that the nature of this control, and so the status of their responsibility, is not clear.…”

‘A steadying hand’: Ascribing speech acts to users of predictive speech assistive technologies by Rainey, S

“…Neuroprosthetic speech technologies are in development for patients suffering profound paralysis, such as can result from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). …”

Bilateral cochlear implantation in the ferret: a novel animal model for behavioral studies. by Hartley, D, Vongpaisal, T, Xu, J, Shepherd, R, King, A, Isaiah, A

“…Since ferrets can be used to assess psychophysical and physiological aspects of hearing along with the structure of the auditory pathway in the same animals, we anticipate that this model will help develop novel neuroprosthetic therapies for use in humans.…”

Electrophysiological differences between upper and lower limb movements in the human subthalamic nucleus by Tinkhauser, G, Shah, A, Fischer, P, Peterman, K, Debove, I, Nygyuen, K, Nowacki, A, Torrecillos, F, Khawaldeh, S, Tan, H, Pogosyan, A, Schuepbach, M, Pollo, C, Brown, P

“…<br/><strong>Significance: </strong>These findings may help to refine the use of the subthalamic LFPs as a control signal for adaptive DBS and neuroprosthetic devices. …”
