Controlling prosthetic hands more precisely by the power of thought

B-CRATOS is excited to announce the publication of the paper Accurate neural control of a hand prosthesis by posture-related activity in the primate grasping circuit, co-written principally by our partner Andres Agudelo-Toro and Hans Scherberger. This was a multi-year effort to decode the principles of grasping actions in the brain.

Andres, a neuro-engineer at DPZ, worked with primates and collaborators in Canada and Taiwan to achieve this breakthrough towards improving BCIs. This paper – published in Neuron on 16 October 2024 – presented for the first time the neural control of the posture of a multidimensional prosthetic hand, paving the way for future interfaces exploiting this additional information channel.
