Why
This method aims to help the brain learn from success as it happens, especially for individuals using prosthetics or recovering from a stroke who often have reduced visual and tactile feedback.
The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

This simple and low-cost method has the potential to be integrated into many existing prosthetic, rehabilitation, and human-machine interface systems, making motor-interface training faster, simpler, and more effective for a wider population. It offers a new approach to enhance motor learning by leveraging the brain's natural reward system.
