Brain stimulation enables nuanced feeling in prosthetic hands

An innovative study published in the journal ' Science ' presents a revolutionary advance in the design of extracorporeal bionic limbs capable of imitating the sense of touch. Until now, bionic prostheses allowed people with spinal cord injuries to perform daily tasks, such as picking up objects, but failing to replicate the touch sensation.This new development uses brain stimulation to generate a complex tactile perception while employing a bio…

Two people with spinal injury recover the sense of touch

You can probably complete an amazing number of tasks with your hands without looking at them. But if you put on gloves that muffle your sense of touch, many of those simple tasks become frustrating. Take away proprioception - your ability to sense your body's relative position and movement - and you might even end up breaking an object or injuring yourself.
