Bionic Hand Restores Feeling for Amputee
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/10/2014

A prosthetic hand, which provides a sense of touch acute enough to handle an
egg, has been completed and is now exploited by the NEBIAS project after 10
years of EU-funded research. The world's most advanced bionic hand was tested
with the help of amputee Dennis Aabo Sørensen who was able to grasp objects
intuitively and identify what he was touching, while blindfolded.

Researchers have created a new neural interface to provide sensory
information from an artificial hand to the brain. This interface is able to
link the patient's nervous system with the artificial sensors, embedded in
the prosthesis, enabling the user to control complex hand and finger
movements.
