A complex sense of touch for individuals living with spinal cord injuries is a step closer to reality. A study published in Science, paves the way for complex touch sensations through brain ...

Some say the next step in human evolution will be the integration of technology with flesh. Now, researchers have used virtual reality to test whether humans can feel embodiment -- the sense that ...

Scientists are getting closer to something that wouldn’t look out of place in a science fiction film: bionic limbs that can sense and convey touch to their users. In a new study published this week, ...

The AI is pre-programmed to guide the hand into different postures, using pressure and proximity sensors Amputees then drive the AI, allowing them to more deftly control the bionic hand FRIDAY, Dec.

The human hand is incredibly complex, so designing a bionic replacement is quite a challenge. There are countless movements and grips that a normal hand needs to make, and that variety is what makes ...

At 18, Jamie Grohsong was living a dream many young athletes chase for years. He was a three-time all-conference shortstop, a Division I college prospect and a player who lived for the game. Then one ...
