Imagine a world where machines and technology seamlessly bridge the gap between the amazing human body and prosthetic control devices. Interfaces which would not only receive signals from the nervous system, but also provide sensory feedback, essentially creating an optimal model of tools that cater to individual needs and improve human kinetics after limb loss. You will learn about surgically created soft tissue constructs which are combined with artificial devices capable of sensing or stimulating to form mechano-neural interfaces (MIs) that facilitate prosthetic integration through the bio-boostering of efferent neural signals conveying motor commands outward from the peripheral nervous system, and afferent neural signals conveying sensory information back from the external prosthesis to the central nervous system or both, enabling conscious re-integration of their new body- image, sense of well-being and identity through advanced artificial limb’s physiological integration.
