Scientists have demonstrated an amazing proof-of-concept, using a technique called intracortical micro stimulation (ICMS) that allows amputees to feel sensory-rich information in real time. The technology is a remarkable breakthrough, and represents a huge stop toward creating devices that give amputees a sense of touch; the introduction of more life-like assistive devices has the potential to greatly increase the quality of life for users.
