An MRI-compatible hand sensory vibrotactile system

MRI compatible hemodynamic recording system

Background During cardiovascular interventions it is critical to have high-fidelity hemodynamic recordings of physiologic signals for patient safety and procedure guidance. MRI compatible monitoring systems are low-fidelity and not suitable for cardiovascular interventions. We present an MRI compatible hemodynamic recording system designed for MRI guided cardiovascular interventions. It is capa...

Vibrotactile Sensory Substitution Elicits Feeling of Ownership of an Alien Hand

Tactile feedback plays a key role in the attribution of a limb to the self and in the motor control of grasping and manipulation. However, due to technological limits, current prosthetic hands do not provide amputees with cutaneous touch feedback. Recent findings showed that amputees can be tricked into experiencing an alien rubber hand as part of their own body, by applying synchronous touches...

Using Sensory Substitution of Median Sensory Deficits in the Traumatized Hand to Develop an Innovative Home-Based Hand Rehabilitation System

Post-traumatic median nerve sensitive deficits are frequent. They are a source of permanent handicap that dramatically decreases the level of autonomy and the quality of life of persons suffering from these deficits. Surgical repair is possible, but the results are not always functionally useful. Therefore, prosthetic approaches do represent an alternative solution that needs to be explored. Al...
