Controlling hand-assistive devices: utilizing electrooculography as a substitute for vision

The loss of hand function, due to amputation or neurological injuries, severely debilitates physically and psychosocially. The most evident and critical impairment after upper limb amputation or neurological injury like brachial plexus or spinal cord injury is the loss of prehension, i.e., the ability to perform those movements in which an object is seized and held partially or wholly within the compass of the hand.
