    In the December 13, 1991 edition of the NIH Guide, the following announcement
    appeared and may be of interest to some of you who study grasping maneuvers.

    $$R1 BEGIN NIH-NINDS-92-04 ******************************************

    SENSORY FEEDBACK SIGNAL DERIVATION FROM AFFERENT NEURONS

    RFP AVAILABLE: NIH-NINDS-92-04

    P.T. 34; K.W. 0705070, 0710085, 0706010

    National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

    The Neural Prosthesis Program of the National Institute of
    Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, is
    seeking a contract to determine the feasibility of extracting sensory
    information about fingertip contact and slip from chronic recordings
    of gross peripheral nerve activity using cuff electrodes. This
    investigation will include a feasibility study, in animals, of
    deriving sensory feedback signals from peripheral nerve recordings on
    a chronic basis. It also will include a study, in human cadaver
    material, of the most suitable sites for implantation of cuff
    electrodes for extracting sensory information about the hand. The
    project will focus on those nerves most likely to provide information
    about fingertip contact and slip during hand grasp. Personnel with
    established expertise in sensory physiology and chronic electrical
    recording in peripheral nerves are required. It is anticipated that
    one award will be made for a period of three years in July 1992.

    This is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). To receive a copy of the
    RFP, submit a written request to the following address and enclose
    two self-addressed mailing labels. All responsible sources shall be
    considered by the agency. The RFP will be issued on or about
    December 18, 1991, with proposals due on February 17, 1992.
