Neuroprosthetics research in amputee patients aims at developing new prostheses that
move and feel like real limbs. Targeted muscle and sensory reinnervation (TMSR) is such an …

Hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are disturbing and frequent non-motor
symptoms and constitute a major risk factor for psychosis and dementia. We report a robotics-based …

Neurotechnology attempts to develop supernumerary limbs, but can the human brain deal
with the complexity to control an extra limb and yield advantages from it? Here, we analyzed …

Many studies focused on the cortical representations of fingers, while the palm is relatively
neglected despite its importance for hand function. Here, we investigated palm representation …

Primary somatosensory cortex (S1) processes somatosensory information and is composed
of multiple subregions. In particular, tactile information from the skin is encoded in three …

Despite the tight coupling between sensory and motor processing for fine manipulation in
humans, it is not yet totally clear which specific properties of the fingers are mapped in the …

Background The present study investigates the possibilities of using heart rate variability (HRV)
parameters as physiological markers that precede increase in observed behavioral …

Visual deficits are core deficits of schizophrenia. Classically, deficits are determined with
demanding psychophysical tasks requiring fine-grained spatial or temporal resolution. Less is …

When performing willed actions, we have the unified and coherent experience of owning
and controlling our body. Body ownership is believed to emerge from the integration of …

Vision is a constructive process. For example, a square, flashed at two distinct locations one
after the other, appears to move smoothly between the two locations rather than as two …
