This connection must be fast intuitive with a high success rate and quite natural to allow an effective bidirectional flow of information between the user s nervous system and the smart artificial device. This goal can be achieved with several approaches and among them the use of implantable interfaces connected with the peripheral nervous system namely intrafascicular electrodes is considered particularly interesting. Methods Thin-film longitudinal intra-fascicular electrodes were implanted in the median and ulnar nerves of an amputee s stump during a four-week trial. The possibility of decoding motor commands suitable to control a dexterous hand prosthesis was investigated for the first time in this research field by implementing a spike sorting and classification algorithm. Results The results showed that motor information . grip types and single finger movements could be extracted with classification accuracy around 85 for three classes plus rest and that the user could improve his ability to govern motor commands over time as shown by the improved discrimination ability of our classification algorithm. Conclusions These results open up new and promising possibilities for the development of a neuro-controlled .
