A comparison of the implantable electrodes (may be used to control prosthesis through thought) and electrodes on the skin. note: implantable allows more control and long term stable impedance. retrieved from: https://t.co/cCTX2UxPeA https://t.co/q5KKAKf6M
A recent study by Jiaet al. showed that, even after 28 months of being amputated, a patient was able to generate neural activity related to the phantom limb movement!! https://t.co/cCTX2UxPeA
https://t.co/cCTX2UxPeA. The muscles of amputees may not be available for electrode implantation but the axons that used to innervate those muscles may be of use.
This 2012 article cites a multitude of experiments suggesting the viability of muscle and nerve based implants for prosthetic control. https://t.co/cCTX2UxPeA
