Star Wars Skywalker Prosthetic Come True! The patient recovers the touch through the prosthesis

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on September 14, the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the University of Miami scientists have recently developed prosthetics that can help squatters or amputees recover their mobility and perception. Scientists have implanted a tiny set of electrodes into the sensory part of the patient's brain. The force sensor in the prosthesis sends a signal to the electrode. Through this technology, a 28-year-old man successfully restored his sense of touch and mobility.

This kind of prosthesis can not only restore the patient's ability to move but also perceive the outside world by the US military. The technology seems to have met before, because in the "Star Wars Empire Strikes Back", Skywalker Luke installed this prosthetic to restore his perception.

Nathan, a 28-year-old man, was treated. Nathan was paralyzed after a spinal cord injury. He was the first person to apply this technology. Scientists implant tiny arrays of electrodes into the sensory portion of the patient's cerebral cortex. When the object is touched, the force sensor of the prosthesis is fed back to the brain, and this feedback is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to Nathan's brain. The electrode can also sense the signal from the brain, so he can control the activity of the prosthesis and the object that the arm touches. Prosthetics helped Nathan feel the touch of his hand for the first time in ten years.

The technology was developed by the University of Miami and scientists from the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency. Dr Justin Sanchez, the leader of the project, deciphered the technology of perceptible prosthetics at the St. Louis conference in Missouri. He said: "Using advanced technology to transform the power felt by the fingers into electronic signals directly stimulate the brain's neurons, so that Nathan can feel his own brain and perceive the external environment. Through neural technology, we have opened up the new world. door."

The Revolutionary Prosthetic Project of the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency is working to develop neuroscience, which is designed to help amputation or paralysis. Microelectrode arrays implanted in the brain capture tiny electron impulses between neurons. So the patient can even shake hands or say hello to the top.

Dr. Sanchez said that the prosthetic controlled by the mind has broad prospects, but he also shows that it is difficult for the patient to control the prosthesis for precise action without feedback from the brain. This technology connects the prosthesis to the brain and demonstrates the enormous potential of biotechnology to help patients recover to near-nature state.

Nathan’s experiments show that even if he blindfolds, he can feel which finger the explorer touched. In one experiment, the research team decided to hold Nathan's two fingers at a time. Nathan asked jokingly: "Is there anyone in a prank?" Dr. Sanchez said: "At that time we realized that this prosthesis is close to the real limbs of human beings. ”
