This project aims to develop a BMI
architecture for real world tasks that require versatile manipulation
and interaction with the environment. We propose controlling the
mechanical impedance of the prosthetic device by volitionally
modulating neural activity that is input to a musculoskeletal model of
the
arm, from which kinematic and stiffness variables can be derived.
Delivery of sensory feedback via intracortical microstimulation

if a subject can perceive and interpret ICMS as a
guiding stimulus for generating more
accurate motor signals to control a prosthetic device.
