How Mind-Controlled Bionic Arms Fuse To The Body | WIRED

A game-changer in prosthetics has been introduced to the world, and for the first time, amputees are regaining sensation through an electrical signal from their prosthetic arm. Max Ortiz-Catalan, a professor of bionics, explains the process of implanting these mind-controlled bionic arms through direct skeletal attachment. The researcher takes us through every step of this groundbreaking advancement in bionic medicine, from surgically implanting electrodes to fitting the prosthesis and training for everyday use.

  1. where do i invest. where do i invest wired i need to know. i need this tech to be expanded upon. i cannot wait for what the future holds.

  2. Im not gonna lie but if I lose a limb i wouldnt be sad having a prostethic limb not Talking about the cost

  3. There is a guy ” no limbs” on Instagram that has no arms or legs Maybe you can give him one arm at least. He deserves to eat like everyone else.

  4. (8:55 min.) *You don’t understand the human body at all!*

    *It is not important to make people stronger, because that means they are always dependent on an external additional supply or a generator. Because people do not have the necessary strength that an electric prosthesis requires to be able to operate it independently.*

    *On the contrary, the electronics of the Protese have to use less electricity!!!! Simplified by artificial muscles, artificial tendons in harmony with analog leverage and gear technology, so that the brain and body can move fingers and limbs with their own strength and even with little tension!!!!*

    *Then the reaction time and the path of action must also become significantly faster and the speed of the nerve pathways must be accelerated, otherwise the movements will not be fluid and precise enough.*

  5. god bro we are so advanced When an animal loses a limb it usually can’t function well enough to survive much longer but we can literally rebuild a arm and rebuild the senses

  6. These new systems also allow the company to track you, read your brainwaves & more. Plus they share that data with the Gov’t, law enfircement, your insurance company, etc
