The Paul Marasco lab studies the sensory nervous system and natural touch and movement for artificial limbs. In their research, they study the sensory nervous system with a focus on the mechanics of brain organization and neuroplasticity. Their findings allow them to build prosthetic devices with sensory integration, giving amputees a sense of touch through their prosthetic limb. The lab works with patients who have undergone specific surgeries to reintegrate the nerves that once supplied sensation to the amputated limb back into the skin of the residual limb. This allows them to map sensations from an amputee’s missing limb in their residual limb, and pair these areas with appropriate mechanisms to mimic the sense of touch. Their work also focuses on establishing an understanding of how sensory channels are organized and integrated to establish a cognitive sense of self, embodiment, and authorship. They use our understanding of these sensory and cognitive pathways to drive cognitive engagement with artificial limbs for amputees.
