New technology restores thermal sensation in “phantom” limbs of amputees
New bionic technology allows amputees to regain the ability to sense temperature in their phantom hand. This breakthrough is being spearheaded by scientists from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPF) in Switzerland. For the investigation, they developed a non-invasive tool called MiniTouch that gives temperature input about the object being touched. “Temperature feedback is essential […]
