Microneurography as a tool to develop decoding algorithms for peripheral neuro-controlled hand prostheses

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Marco Capogrosso, Francesco Maria Petrini, Jacopo Rigosa, Beatrice Barra, Alessandra Pampaloni

Background:The usability of dexterous hand prostheses is still hampered by the lack of natural and effective control strategies. A decoding strategy based on the process-ing of descending efferent neural signals recorded using peripheral neural interfaces ...

Long-term usability and bio-integration of polyimide-based intraneural stimulating electrodes

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Nawal Noëlle Kinany, Quentin Barraud, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth, Alessandra Piersigilli, Jacopo Rigosa, Jérôme Gandar

Stimulation of peripheral nerves has transiently restored lost sensation and has the potential to alleviate motor deficits. However, incomplete characterization of the long-term usability and bio-integration of intra-neural implants has restricted their us ...

Engagement of the Rat Hindlimb Motor Cortex across Natural Locomotor Behaviors

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Rubia van den Brand, Jacopo Rigosa, Julie Kreider, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Janine Beauparlant, Simone Ellen Joze Duis

Contrary to cats and primates, cortical contribution to hindlimb locomotor movements is not critical in rats. However, the importance of the motor cortex to regain locomotion after neurological disorders in rats suggests that cortical engagement in hindlim ...

Decoding bipedal locomotion from the rat sensorimotor cortex

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Rubia van den Brand, Jacopo Rigosa, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler

Objective. Decoding forelimb movements from the firing activity of cortical neurons has been interfaced with robotic and prosthetic systems to replace lost upper limb functions in humans. Despite the potential of this approach to improve locomotion and fac ...

Chronic multichannel neural recordings from soft regenerative microchannel electrodes during gait

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Marco Capogrosso, Jacopo Rigosa, Sophie Marie Marthe Wurth, Shreya Narasimhan, Katherine Marie Musick

Reliably interfacing a nerve with an electrode array is one of the approaches to restore motor and sensory functions after an injury to the peripheral nerve. Accomplishing this with current technologies is challenging as the electrode-neuron interface ofte ...

Restoring Natural Sensory Feedback in Real-Time Bidirectional Hand Prostheses

Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Jacopo Rigosa, Marco Bonizzato

Hand loss is a highly disabling event that markedly affects the quality of life. To achieve a close to natural replacement for the lost hand, the user should be provided with the rich sensations that we naturally perceive when grasping or manipulating an o ...
