The world's first bionic hand that will allow patients to 'feel' sensations set to be transplanted onto a patient

The world's first bionic hand that will allow patients to 'feel' sensations set to be transplanted onto a patient | Mail Online: "A bionic hand which allows the recipient to feel ‘lifelike’ sensations is to be transplanted on to a patient’s arm for the first time.

Developers say it will be the first prosthetic to provide real-time sensory feedback

Until now, artificial limbs have been able to pick up brain signals destined for the absent hand and translate them into movements, but they could not give sensory feedback."
