Report A sensory-motor hand prosthesis with integrated thermal feedback

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur, Outman Akouissi, Jonathan Louis Muheim

Background: Recently, we reported the presence of phantom thermal sensations in amputees: thermal stimulation of specific spots on the residual arm elicited thermal sensations in their missing hands. Here, we exploit phantom thermal sensations via a standa ...

Remapping Wetness Perception in Upper Limb Amputees

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur, Outman Akouissi, Jonathan Louis Muheim

Recent research has made remarkable strides in restoring sensory feedback for prosthetic users, including tactile, proprioceptive, and thermal feedback. Herein, a sensory modality that has been largely neglected is explored: the ability to perceive wetness ...

Restoration of natural thermal sensation in upper-limb amputees

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur, Outman Akouissi, Jonathan Louis Muheim, Giulio Rognini, Simon Gallo

The use of hands for gathering rich sensory information is essential for proper interaction with the environment; therefore, the restoration of sensation is critical for reestablishing the sense of embodiment in hand amputees. Here, we show that a noninvas ...
