ObjectiveA major challenge for controlling a prosthetic arm is communication between the device and the users phantom limb. We show the ability to enhance amputees phantom limb perception and improve movement decoding through targeted transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tTENS). ApproachTranscutaneous nerve stimulation experiments were performed with four amputee participants to map phantom limb perception. We measured myoelectric signals during phantom hand movements before and after a...
