Tactile Feedback from the Hand

摘要: The last decade has seen remarkable advances in upper-limb neuroprosthetics. Several groups have developed algorithms that enable control of devices by decoding the neural signals recorded over an array electrodes. These encouraged researchers to move onto neuroprosthetic hands, which faces two complications: (1) hands are geometrically far more complex than arms, (2) also sensitive and sophisticated sensory systems. In this chapter, we review role tactile proprioceptive sensation hand function, with a focus on integration multiple inputs extract information about our haptic interactions objects. We argue here creating seamless somatosensory prosthetic system will require both detailed understanding how individual deformations skin result modulation neurons primary cortex, but those combined create image.
