Scientists with the Bao Research Group at Stanford University have created a new electronic skin that can mimic the sense of touch. The "e-skin," as some refer to it, is detailed in a new study ...

Stanford scientists have developed a soft and stretchable electronic skin that can directly talk to the brain, imitating the sensory feedback of real skin using a strategy that, if improved, could ...

A team of Stanford University engineers has created a soft electronic skin that senses external stimulus, and shares it to the brain instead of talking to an electronic device. Stretchable electronics ...

Skin provides more than just a protective barrier for our inner bits—it’s also one of the nervous system’s most valuable tools for experiencing the outside world. People who have endured severe burns, ...

Sensing a hug from each other via the internet may be a possibility in the near future. A research team recently developed a wireless, soft e-skin that can both detect and deliver the sense of touch, ...

Even before we are born and begin experiencing the sensations of daily life — a soft shirt on our arms, for example, or a hard tabletop under our fingertips — humans begin to form the senses needed to ...

A complex sense of touch for individuals living with spinal cord injuries is a step closer to reality. A study published in Science, paves the way for complex touch sensations through brain ...

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has spent his career cataloging the neurons beneath everyday sensations. Like ...

Scientists are pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) by using brain stimulation to evoke a sense of touch in users of a bionic arm. The device, which ...

Neuroscience researchers have succeeded in restoring a young man's sense of touch and movement through a brain-computer interface (BCI) system. The study was published by teams at Battelle and the ...
