Prosthetics can feel hot and cold as well as pressure you heard wrong

With the development of science and technology, modern prostheses can give users more functionality and convenience. 

　　University of Houston recently developed a new type of non-invasive way to make the patient's brain waves to control electronic prosthesis. As long as the patient to wear a hat to collect the brain waves, focus, issue commands to manipulate electronic prosthesis. 
The advantage of this approach is that by wearing an external device, instead of the traditional way, you need a controller implanted on the patient's body can be achieved only prosthetic control, but unfortunately, it still can not bring the feeling of moving to the users, they still lack life experience degrees. 

　　But all this will soon change. Thanks to an innovative little device. 

　　The device is a three-year, $ 1.9 billion project, the DARPA (DARPA is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for short, because of the translation, also translated as the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency etc. US Department of Defense is organized major scientific and technological projects, coordination, administration and technical management of high-tech military pre-research work) and Danneel Moran at Washington University in St. Louis and his team are responsible.

　　This small device, which consists of, like contact lens material as a thin structure, it is only 20% the size of a coin. According to reports, it will be by electrical stimulation of the nerve ways to make users feel from prosthetic re cold, heat and pressure.

　　However, Moran and his team must also get more data and do more experiments, we can make it available to human use. They passed a "non-human primates," implanted prototype monitoring and use this to stimulate peripheral nerves through the current control technology. 

　　"We want to see how they perceive things." Moran said in a statement. "We want to promote the development of this industry, we tell everyone the standard, then we need to do more testing, we hope sensors become smaller and more accurate in the future." 

　　With these data, the team hopes to be able to develop more accurate sensor used in the future prosthesis. In fact, Luke arm was put into commercial use from far away. If Luke arm can be used with this little device, then the use of prosthetics people, it is definitely good news.

　　Luke arm system is a combination of a large project design, engineering and technology, as the first approved by the US Food and Drug Administration by EMG electrodes transmit signals to control the movement of prosthetic limbs, allowing the wearer to use " ideas "control, so that the disabled can also easily make a drink, eat, get something other actions in daily life than the existing ordinary prostheses have greater control performance, and the size and weight substantially and Like the human arm.
