The Role of Somatosensory Feedback in Adaptive Bionic Control

When someone loses a hand or a limb, it’s not just movement they lose. They also lose the ability to feel—how soft something is, how hard they’re gripping, or if they’re even holding anything at all. This sense of touch, called somatosensory feedback, is something most people take for granted. But for someone using a […]
Phantom Limbs and Brain Rewiring: A New Frontier in Neuro-Bionics

Imagine losing a part of your body, like a hand or a leg, but still feeling it there. You feel it itch. You feel it move. Sometimes, it even hurts. This strange and often painful sensation is called a phantom limb. It happens to many people after an amputation. And while it sounds like something […]
Cortical Remapping in Amputees: How Bionics Trains the Brain

When someone loses a limb, most people think only about the physical loss. But something deep happens inside the brain too. The map the brain uses to control that limb doesn’t just disappear. It shifts. It adapts. And if the person uses a bionic limb, the brain can learn to move again — just in […]
From Brain to Bionic: How Neural Pathways Learn to Move Machines

When someone loses a hand or arm, they lose more than just a limb. They lose actions, independence, and sometimes, a part of who they are. But the human brain is remarkable. It never stops trying to move, to reach, to act. Even after limb loss, it keeps sending signals, hoping for a response. That’s […]
Adaptive Control Systems in Bionics: A Neuroplasticity Perspective

Bionic limbs have come a long way. They’re no longer just mechanical tools — they’re smart, responsive, and designed to work with your body. But there’s something even more powerful happening behind the scenes. It’s not just about what the bionic limb can do. It’s about how your brain learns to use it. That’s where […]
