A rare circulatory problem required Emily Wheldon to have her left arm amputated three years ago. Her brain still thinks it's there. "Most days, it just feels like I've got my arm next to me," she ...

Brain functions are an intriguing area to explore for experts. For decades, researchers have been exploring the human mind, yet they have not understood it fully. When new research comes in, it ...

This not only explains a well-documented phenomenon, but offers a new solution when it comes to artificial limbs, researchers say. Using this brain map, it might be more straightforward than ...

Signals from an EEG monitoring device could be used to send brain signals to a spinal cord stimulator, helping paralyzed patients control their limbs more effectively. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2026 — ...

The study of how the brain's map of the body adapts following amputation has intrigued neuroscientists for decades. Traditionally, it was believed that loss of a limb leads to large-scale ...

People with from spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the ...

People with spinal cord injuries often lose movement even though their brains still send the right signals. Researchers tested whether EEG brain scans could capture those signals and reroute them to ...

A brain-computer interface, surgically placed in a research participant with tetraplegia, paralysis in all four limbs, provided an unprecedented level of control over a virtual quadcopter -- just by ...
