NEW PERCEPTIONS? beyond the human senses...

with the help of technology, a world of new perceptions' coming to us...

Playing piano with a robotic hand
"By tapping directly into the brain's electrical signals, scientists at John's Hopkins University, in Baltimore, are on their way to developing a prosthetic hand more dexterous than ever before. They have demonstrated for the first time that neural activity recorded from a monkey's brain can control fingers on a robotic hand, making it play several notes on a piano."

Watch a robotic hand, controlled by neural activity, play "Frère Jacques."
Watch the translation of neural activity into robotic finger movements.


OR JUST ILLUSION?
