Mind and Body

Todd Kuiken and Jesse Sullivan

State of the art of prosthesis.  Jesse has two prosthetic arms.  Using the nerves that control the arms redirected to chest muscles - then using those muscles to signal the prothesis.

He uses the same thought control to use the arm as he would to use his real arm.  He also has sensation in his chest that he would have in his hand so the sensations can be transfered.
