+ - Mind-Controlled Artificial Arm Begins Human Tests->

Submitted by kkleiner
kkleiner writes "The world’s first human testing of a mind-controlled artificial limb is ready to begin. A joint project between the Pentagon and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), the Modular Prosthetic Limb will be fully controlled by sensors implanted in the brain, and will even restore the sense of touch by sending electrical impulses from the limb back to the sensory cortex. Last week APL announced it was awarded a $34.5 million contract with DARPA, which will allow researchers to test the neural prosthetic in five individuals over the next two years."

I cannot draw a cart, nor eat dried oats; If it be man's work I will do it.
