A young man recovers touch after being inserted a brain implant and a robotic arm
According an article published in 'Science Translational Medicine', a young American man has recovered the touch due to a brain implant which allows him to control a robotic arm.
Nathan Copeland became quadriplegic, with the four limb paralyzed, after a car accident in which he got injured his medulla twelve years ago.
The young man is able to feel his fingers thanks to a brain implant developed by scientists of Pittburg University and a robotic arm created by John Hopkins University. The robotic arm sends signals to the brain areas where the man use to feel the touch of his hands and fingers.
The most important outcome of the study is that microstimulation of the sensory cortex can provoke a natural sensation instead of tingling sensation.

A young man recovers his touch after having a brain implant inserted and receiving a robotic arm.
According to an article published in 'Science Translational Medicine', a young American man has recovered his touch tue to a brain implant which allows him to control a robotic arm. Nathan Copeland became a quadriplegic, with all four limbs paralyzed, after a car accident in which he injured his medulla twelve years ago. The young man is able to feel his fingers thanks to a brain implant developed by scientists from Pittsburg University and a robotic arm created by John Hopkins University. The robotic arm sends signals to the brain areas where the man use to feel on his hands and fingers. The most important important.... instead of a tingling sensation.
