Bionic hand Coming Soon?
By john | November 28, 2005
Found an article today via Slashdot about the Cyberhand project, which “aims to hard- wire the artificially created hand into the nervous system, allowing sensory feedback from the hand to reach the brain, and instructions to come from the brain to control the hand, at least in part.” The most interesting aspect of this project is the human-machine interface, how it will handle the flow of sensory information beween the bionic hand and the nervous system, and how it will physically interface with the human body . There’s not a whole lot of information on the project’s web page, but I plan to investigate this further, as it has the potential to really push forward the concept of the cyberbonic system.
