The audiovisual collection of the A*Midex university foundation Expérimenter l'avenir (I.e. "Experimenting with the future") aims to raise awareness of the research and training projects it supports. In this video, discover the Phantom Training project, led by Jozina de Graaf, lecturer at the Institut des sciences du mouvement Etienne-Jules Marey (AMU/CNRS/Institut Carnot Star).
Phantom Training - Study of neuroplasticity after amputation
The Phantom Training project is an ambitious Franco-Swiss project in terms of generating new scientific knowledge in the healthcare field, and new clinical applications. Its main scientific ambition is to gain in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms of neuroplasticity after limb amputation. The project focuses on two phantom phenomena in particular: phantom limb mobility and referred sensations, both of which are particularly interesting for studying the reorganizations of the central and peripheral nervous system after major body modifications such as limb amputation. The innovative approach of this study is based on quantifying the link between phantom limb phenomenology (motor, multisensory and subjective aspects) and cortical representations of the amputated limb.
