The paper develops a framework to quantify the mechanics of primate dexterous grasp by measuring contact forces, kinematics, and joint torques using an experimental apparatus and musculoskeletal modeling.

This study evaluates biomimetic multi-channel microstimulation for restoring high-resolution force feedback in bionic hands through somatosensory cortex stimulation.

The paper investigates how humans integrate tactile and proprioceptive signals for haptic object perception, finding that global shape and local features are encoded separately but integrated.

This study investigates how microstimulation of somatosensory cortex affects motor cortex activity in paralyzed individuals, finding task-dependent spatial patterns and showing that biomimetic stimulation improves control of a virtual hand.

The paper investigates the localization of intracortical microstimulation-evoked sensations in human somatosensory cortex and demonstrates improved localization with multi-channel stimulation in a bionic hand.
