Abstract

In this paper we propose a new method to enhance prosthetics functionality, that integrates concepts extracted from the neuroscience background with the technology mainly exploited in prosthetic control. This new method allows controlling multi-degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) prostheses with signals having few d.o.f.
