The United States tested a strange prosthesis. Johns Hopkins, together with the Agency prospective defense research and development the US has successfully tested the prosthesis, which the patient can not only manage through the power of thought, but feel things around. The prosthesis was manufactured in the Applied Physics Laboratory of the University of Engineering DARPA for 28-year-old patient who was paralyzed because of the injury, in which the injured spinal cord. The researchers placed electrodes in the motor areas of the cerebral cortex, allowing the patient to control the prosthesis. In addition, the prosthesis is equipped with special sensors that recognize the pressure from collisions with different surfaces and transmit a signal to the associated electrodes placed on postcentral gyrus of the brain. This allowed the patient to not only feels different surfaces, but also to determine which of the finger prosthesis detected pressure. According to researchers, as...
