Relations of Visual Perception and Hand Dexterity using Computer Keyboard

Enhancing the dexterity of a robot hand using controlled slip

Human Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...

Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Transhiatal Esophagectomy Using the Dexterity Pneumo Sleeve

BACKGROUND As the use of laparoscopic techniques have expanded to more complicated procedures, limitations of laparoscopy have begun to be realized. To help regain the ability to palpate and bluntly dissect tissues, and handle larger organs, surgeons have begun to utilize devices which allow the surgeon's hand to be inserted into the abdomen during laparoscopic procedures. One such devices is t...

Control of a visual keyboard using an electrocorticographic brain-computer interface.

OBJECTIVE Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that enable severely disabled people to communicate and interact with their environments using their brain waves. Most studies investigating BCI in humans have used scalp EEG as the source of electrical signals and focused on motor control of prostheses or computer cursors on a screen. The authors hypothesize that the use of brain signals o...
