Part 2/8:
Researchers in the United States have made a groundbreaking development in brain-machine interfaces, also known as brain chips. These innovations allow amputees to experience the sensation of touch using robotic limbs. This technological integration is composed of microelectrodes implanted in the motor and sensory regions of the human brain, enabling direct communication between brain signals and robotic movements.
The initial results, although subtle, have evolved significantly. Participants previously reported vague sensations but now experience more substantial and localized tactile feedback. This development heralds a new era in prosthetics where users can engender a genuine perception of their environment, thus restoring not just mobility but a qualitative sense of being alive.
