High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yoky Matsuoka (born c. 1972) is an associate professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington (U.W.), director of that university's Neurobotics Laboratory, and a 2007 MacArthur Fellow. Her research combines neuroscience and robotics--sometimes referred to by Matsuoka by the portmanteau "neurobotics"--to create more realistic prosthetics. An example of her work is a lifelike robotic hand, modeled bone-by-bone from a human hand, with multiple motors each corresponding to muscles and with strings playing the role of tendons along each digit. Her intent is that nervous system signals will ultimately be able to control the electronic replica in the same manner as a natural appendage. To this end, her work uses such means as measuring the electric current along each muscle in the hand as a person reaches for and grasps an object and having patients do virtual reality exercises with an oversized arm so that errors are more apparent.
