How is it to lose a hand? I am afraid that ordinary people cannot answer this question. Some people who have had this experience say that after losing their own hands, they still feel the existence of "phantom limbs", but in fact their prosthetic limbs are not touched.
There is such a group of scientists, what they do is to make the prosthetic "touchable." A research project called the Arm Proprioception and Tactile Interface (HAPTIX) conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) aims to allow prosthetic wearers to make prostheses real by using sensors with wireless transmission capabilities. The feedback function makes the prosthesis truly an integral part of the patient's body.
Spetic, a volunteer from the Cleveland Veterans Medical Center, is a man who needs a prosthesis. He lost his right hand in a factory accident, but fortunately, he volunteered as a pilot project and accepted the finger tactile neural interface. transplant. For amputees, the function of the prosthesis is greater than the function of the limb. Ordinary prostheses cannot feel any feeling. For the user, it is more like a "tool."
