In the newest Season 4 episode of Unfold, a �������ϲʿ����������ͼ podcast, we look at how the combination of surgery and machine learning is making life easier for amputees.

Nearly half of all arm amputees choose not to use their prosthesis, despite improvements in technology. Prosthetic devices can be too difficult to operate, unintuitive, and don’t allow amputees to sense pressure or temperature. At �������ϲʿ����������ͼ, engineers, neuroscientists and surgeons are collaborating to solve this problem.

In this episode:

• , assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, College of Engineering 
• , neuroscientist and professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, College of Biological Sciences
• , assistant professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery, �������ϲʿ����������ͼ Health

Next week, the award-winning podcast will launch its final episode of the season, “Linking Wartime Trauma to Dementia in Vietnamese Communities.” Meet the �������ϲʿ����������ͼ researcher embarking on the first long-term study examining early life contributors to dementia in Vietnamese communities.
