Restoring Sensation to Hand Amputees

This lecture delves into the challenges faced by hand amputees and the limitations of current prostheses, highlighting the importance of restoring sensation to improve their quality of life. The instructor presents a novel approach involving tactile sensors, wireless communication, and stimulation devices to transmit sensory information directly to the brain, ultimately aiming to provide amputees with a sense of touch. By drawing parallels to the iconic painting in the Sistine Chapel, the lecture emphasizes the significance of tactile sensation in human experience.
