Paralysed man is able to feel again after 10 YEARS thanks to a mind-controlled robot hand

A paralysed man has regained a sense of touch after 10 years while using a mind-controlled robotic hand. In breakthrough tests, 28-year-old Nathan Copeland was able to feel subtle pressure in his own fingers when the artificial ones are touched. The world first experiment is an early step in the quest to create prosthetics that can feel, US researchers claim. A brain chip, called the Brain Computer Interface (BCI), has helped restore feeling to a patient with paralysed hands, a new study claims. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh studied the sensations felt by a 28-year-old man with tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury.
