“We’ve completed the circuit,” said DARPA program manager Justin Sanchez in a statement. “Prosthetic limbs that can be Controlled by thoughts are showing great promise, but without feedback from signals traveling back to the Brain it can be difficult to achieve the level of control needed to perform precise movements. By wiring a Sense of Touch from a mechanical Hand directly into the brain, this work shows the potential for seamless bio-tech**logical restoration of near-natural function.”
The patient could tell which finger was being touched and claims it feels pretty much just like what he remembers Touch to be with his **w paralyzed hands. He could also feel through multiple fingers at the same time while *moving the robotic arm around.
