Abstract: There is preliminary evidence that phantom pain is associated with disturbed organization of the sensory cortex and that this organization can be normalized with two-point discrimination (TPD) training. In this case study, a reduction in phantom… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2018.00352
Abstract: We quantified prosthesis embodiment and phantom pain reduction associated with motor control and sensory feedback from a prosthetic hand in one human with a long-term transradial amputation. Microelectrode arrays were implanted in the residual median… read more here.
