Electronic hands allow patients to feel things in their hands. Scientists say that, until now, artificial parts are only capable of transmitting signals from the brain to defective parts of the body and turning them into movements, but patients There is no feeling.

With this new invention, the electronic hand will connect directly to the nervous system through electrodes clamped on the two main nerves of the arm, with the aim of restoring the feeling of touching objects in the disabled. .

The electrodes will help patients control their hands with thought, and will send that signal back to the brain.

Scientists hope that this breakthrough will pave the way for the new generation of artificial parts on the body, increasing the ability to dexterity and providing feelings for the disabled.
