Development of the neurocomputer interface “Neuro-bridge”

摘要

Studies have shown that amputation of the upper limbs leads to a disruption of the sensory connection between the brain and the outside world. It was found that modern prostheses do not lead to a complete restoration of sensory feedback in patients with amputated limbs due to: limited tactile information from the "stump-socket" node; difficulties in performing some simple movements such as gripping, holding and carrying objects; perception of the prosthesis as an external object and increased cognitive load. It was found that the maximum restoration of the function of the missing amputated limb and the integration of sensory feedback into the sensorimotor loop will significantly improve the quality of patients’ life. The developed model of the neurocomputer interface provides the restoration of the feedback system through the stimulation of nerve fibers in real time.
