Neurotechnology study delivers ‘another level’ of touch to bionic hands

Advances in brain-computer interfaces enable paralysed users to feel objects in a realistic way via a robotic limb
Research has given a sense of touch to people operating a bionic hand that is controlled by the user’s thoughts

Scientists have for the first time given a realistic sense of touch to people operating a robotic hand via signals sent from their brain, marking the latest advance in neurotechnology research to help overcome disabilities.

The University of Chicago study, published in Science on Thursday, worked over several years with volunteers paralysed by spinal cord injuries. They had tiny electrodes implanted in the brain’s sensory and motor regions that control sensations and movements in the arm and hand.
