MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411020513 A) filed by Bennett University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on March 19, 2024, for 'brain-computer interface for restoration of sensory feedback in amputees with prosthetic limbs.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Arpit Bhardwaj; and Prof. Ajith Abraham.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A brain-computer interface system and method provide sensory feedback to amputees with prosthetic limbs. The system comprises a prosthetic limb with sensors for detecting stimuli, an implantable neural interface device with electrodes for detecting and stimulating neural activity, a signal processing unit for converting sensor signals into electrical stimulation patterns, and a communication module for wirelessly transmitting stimulation patterns to the neural interface device. The neural interface device restores sensory feedback by stimulating nerves in the amputee's residual limb. The system may include pressure, temperature, and tactile sensors, as well as the capability to detect efferent brain signals for controlling prosthetic limb movement. A machine learning module optimizes signal conversion based on individual neural activity patterns. The system utilizes encrypted wireless communication protocols to ensure signal transmission security and privacy. This innovative approach improves the functionality and user experience of prosthetic limbs for amputees."
