Man Gets Bionic Hand That Can Actually “Feel”

 
In what some are calling a bionic hand breakthrough, scientists in Switzerland reported the development of a “smart” artificial hand that lets amputees feel what they’re touching or holding.

Using surgically implanted electrodes in the arm, the electronic signals sent to the brain actually create the sense of touch.
 
The Danish father of three has regained his sense of touch, through this revolutionary prototype prosthetic.

Electrodes in the prosthetic hand are tied in with nerves in Sorensen’s upper arm, forming an electrical connection between the prosthetic and his brain.

While it is still in trial phase, this represents a major breakthrough for amputees.
