Retour sur RE-NET mais sur le côté redonner le sens tu toucher

Il y a quelques jours, je vous parlais du programme RE-NET avec la Tranche "Et hop, encore un pas vers l'homme réparé avec des interfaces neuronales !". On y voir un amputé qui arrive plutôt pas mal à contrôler son bras robot.

Dans cet article/vidéo on voit cette fois ci un amputé qui doit deviner ce qu'on fait sur sa main robot ... quoi-qui-touche et comment !

Beaux projets !

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University used a flat interface nerve electrode (FINE) to demonstrate direct sensory feedback. By interfacing with residual nerves in the patient's partial limb, some sense of touch by the fingers is restored. Other existing prosthetic limb control systems rely solely on visual feedback. Unlike visual feedback, direct sensory feedback allows patients to move a hand without keeping their eyes on it—enabling simple tasks, like rummaging through a bag for small items, not possible with today's prosthetics. This Case Western Reserve University video shows how direct sensory feedback makes some tasks easier. The FINE is one of many different types of nerve interfaces developed under the RE-NET program.
