Problems in Design of Neuro-controlled Prosthetic Devices

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

One of the most promising ways of constructing modern prosthetic control systems would be to use electrical control signals recorded from peripheral neural tissue. In this work the construction of such systems is analyzed in order to upgrade modern technical devices and methods that are used to design these systems. The requirements for technical devices and methods used to record and process neural signals and rules are also considered. The efficiency of the systems and methods is estimated and described. A generalized structure of neural prosthetic control systems and a way of preprocessing control signals to provide more efficient information transfer are suggested.
