Somatosensory Feedback for Neuroprosthetics

by Burak Guclu (Editor)

Overview

Although somatosensory system works in tandem with the motor system in biology, the majority of the prosthetics research and commercial efforts had focused on accommodating movement deficits. With the development of neuroprostheses in the last 15 years, it has become evident that somatosensory input (mainly as touch and proprioception) is essential for motor control, manipulating objects, and embodiment, in addition to its primary role for sensory perception.Somatosensory Feedback for Neuroprosthetics covers all relevant aspects to facilitate learning and doing research and development in the field.To understand the properties of the body to create viable solutions, this book starts with chapters reviewing the basic anatomy, physiology, and psychophysics of the somatosensory system, sensorimotor control, and instrumentation. Some sections are dedicated to invasive (peripheral and central, mainly cortical) and noninvasive (vibrotactile, electrotactile, etc.) approaches. Final chapters cover future technologies such as novel sensors and electrodes, safety, and clinical testing, and help to make up future prospects for this field with an emphasis on development and end use. With contributions from renowned experts, the contents include their recent findings and technical details necessary to understand those findings. - Provides a concise review of the somatosensory system and latest advances in the use of somatosensory feedback for neuroprosthetics - Analyzes many approaches to somatosensory feedback - Provides the most detailed work on somatosensory neuroprostheses, their development, and applications in real life work

About the Author

Prof. Burak Güçlü has an engineering background (BS in 1997: Control and Computer Engineering, Istanbul Technical University; MS in 1999: Bioengineering, Syracuse University), completed PhD (2003, Syracuse University) and postdoctoral work (University of Rochester) in neuroscience mostly with specialization on the somatosensory system. He has over 20 years of experience in theoretical and experimental research involving the sense of touch in animals, humans, and for engineering applications such as neuroprosthetics and tactile sensors/displays. He has 51 articles published in refereed journals and over 120 publications in conferences. He has worked in grant projects funded by NIH, TÜBİTAK, European Union, and university agencies; is currently part of an EU consortium for the use of graphene electrodes in neuroprosthetics, and has established Tactile Research Laboratory and the animal facility (Vivarium) at Boğaziçi University. He has taught courses on sensory systems, computational neuroscience, biophysics, and biomedical instrumentation, and gave numerous lectures and provided media coverage on somatosensory feedback in neuroprosthetics.
