Multisensory Integration in Bionics: Relevance and Perspectives

Abstract Purpose of review The goal the is to highlight growing importance multisensory integration processes connected bionic limbs and somatosensory feedback restoration. Recent findings Restoring quasi-realistic sensations by means neurostimulation has been shown provide functional motor benefits in limb amputees. In recent past, cognitive linked artificial sense touch seemed play a crucial role for full prosthesis acceptance. Summary Artificial sensory implemented enhances prosthetic device experience can be measured must considered design novel neural prostheses where realistic user. correct these signals will guarantee higher-level as better embodiment reduction perceived distortions.
