Neuroplasticity in amputees: Main implications on bidirectional interfacing of cybernetic hand prostheses

The development of a new generation of hand prostheses that can ideally approximate the human 'physiological' performance in terms of movement dexterity and sensory feedback for amputees still poses many open research challenges. The most promising approaches aim at establishing a direct c...
