The University of Chicago study, published in Science on Thursday, worked over several years with volunteers paralysed by spinal cord injuries. They had tiny electrodes implanted in the brain\u2019s sensory and motor regions that control sensations and movements in the arm and hand. The subjects learned not only to grasp objects by driving a bionic limb with their thoughts \u2014 a feat achieved in previous research \u2014 but also to feel edges, shapes and movements. Such rich two-way communication between the robotic hand and brain raises hopes that intuitive systems could improve the lives of millions of disabled people.<br><br>Read the Full Article <a
