Prosthetic Electrodes Will Return Amputees’ Sense Of Touch

Prosthetic electrodes will return amputees’ sense of touch

For all the functionality and freedom that modern prosthetics provide, they still cannot give their users a sense of what they’re touching. That may soon change thanks to an innovative electrode capable of connecting a prosthetic arm’s robotic sense of touch to the human nervous system that it’s attached to.  It reportedly allows its users to feel heat, cold and pressure by stimulating the ulnar and median nerves of the upper arm.
