EU-funded scientists have succeeded in restoring sensory feedback in amputees, enabling them to control artificial limbs in real time. The ground-breaking technology, which could transform the lives of thousands of patients, is testament to the benefits of coordinated European research.
The four-year NEBIAS project, due for completion at the end of January 2018, represents a significant leap forward in cybernetics and builds on ten years of dedicated research. The NEBIAS bionic prosthesis consists of a dexterous hand prosthesis, electrodes and embedded electronics for recording and stimulation.
