TL;DR: These results were in fair agreement with the literature obtained in clinical as well as temporal bone experiments, and they provide an in vivo reference for the normal ME function aswell as for ME modeling.

TL;DR: Brain-computer interfaces for neuromodulation that use the MRCP as the control signal are robust to changes in attention, however, attention must be monitored since it plays a key role in plasticity induction.

TL;DR: The presence of hysteresis in the relationship between features of electromyography (EMG) and force is analyzed and it is shown that the former is more predictive of force than the latter.

TL;DR: Subdermal electrical stimulation was demonstrated to be able to produce similar sensation quality as transcutaneous stimulation and outperformed the latter in terms of energy efficiency and sensitivity, suggesting that stimulation through implantable subdermal electrodes may lead to an efficient and compact sensory feedback system for substituting the lost sense in amputees.

TL;DR: The results suggest that subdermal stimulation could be a viable alternative for the implementation of electro-tactile feedback as it generates sensations that are equally stable as in surface stimulation, and yet it has some important advantages for the practical applications (e.g., compact interface, permanent placement).
