About
Oguz Kayhan is a researcher at the intersection of haptics, sensory feedback, and assistive technology, with a primary focus on restoring proprioception for individuals using prosthetic limbs. His most notable contribution is the development of a novel skin stretch tactor designed for sensory substitution of wrist proprioception. In his highly cited 2018 paper, Kayhan introduced an original method to provide multi-degree-of-freedom skin stretch feedback, encoding three distinct wrist movements—extension-flexion, radial-ulnar deviation, and pronation-supination—into tactile cues. This work addresses a critical gap in prosthetic design, where users often lack awareness of their limb’s position in space. By translating complex joint angles into intuitive skin stretch patterns, Kayhan’s device offers a low-cost, wearable solution that enhances motor control and embodiment. His research has garnered 14 citations, reflecting its impact on the haptics and rehabilitation engineering communities. Kayhan’s work stands out for its user-centered approach, bridging engineering and neuroscience to improve quality of life for amputees, and it continues to inspire innovations in sensory substitution and human-machine interfaces.
