The art of rewiring – Jennifer Ernst on innovative amputation medicine

Working in the field of nerve regeneration has a lot in common with being an electrician, says Dr. Jennifer Ernst. She is Head of Innovative Amputation Medicine, Department of Trauma Surgery, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH). A specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Jennifer has special knowledge in modern surgical techniques such as targeted muscle rein nervation (TMR), osseointegration and Agonist-Antagonist-Myoneuronal-Interface (AMI). In this episode of Taste of Bionics, together with Ranga, she explores the main advantages of such procedures, the current limitations and existing challenges. Where is the development in amputation medicine headed and what will the next milestones be?

Muscles and machines – Connor Glass on new approaches to prosthesis control

What happens when the boundary between humans and machines starts to dissolve? Dr. Connor Glass is the Founder and CEO of Phantom Neuro, a neurotechnology company building the next generation of human–machine interfaces. With a background in medicine and research at Johns Hopkins, Connor left clinical practice to tackle a deeper challenge: how humans can intuitively and seamlessly control the machines that extend their capabilities. In this episode of Taste of Bionics, Connor talks to Ranga about developing Phantom X, a minimally invasive muscle-machine interface that enables intuitive control of prosthetic limbs and robotic devices, and how to make high-performance neural control accessible and scalable – not only for amputees, but also for broader applications in robotics and human augmentation.
