Prof. Ortiz Catalan will lecture on novel but clinically viable technologies to restore quality of life to patients with limb loss. Using direct skeletal attachment via osseointegration, neuromuscular interfaces, and machine learning, his work resulted in the first artificial arm integrated directly into the patient’s bone, nerves, and muscles. In addition to direct skeletal attachment, this technology provides the unique opportunity to chronically record and stimulate the neuromuscular system in freely behaving humans, thus allowing to investigate complex limb motions and somatosensory perception. Prof. Ortiz Catalan will also discuss how motor decoding technology in combination with virtual reality can be used to treat Phantom Limb Pain, along with a novel theoretical framework for the condition and its treatment.
