Robotic nerve ‘cuffs’ could help treat a range of neurological conditions
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, combined flexible electronics and soft robotics techniques to develop the devices, which could be used for the diagnosis and treatment of a range of disorders, including epilepsy and chronic pain, or the control of prosthetic limbs.Current tools for interfacing with the peripheral nerves – the 43 pairs of motor and sensory nerves that…
