Brilliant tech, which will help many patients to regain control over their hands (and apparently for other upper-body areas - although not sure which).

This is something which wouldn't even have been dreamed of 10 or 20 years ago. Not only is it a result of advancements in robotics, but also neuro-science - two fascinating areas which are set to improve our lives immeasurably.

And I love that the results are a result of the robotic arm/hand working in tandem with the patients' mind. As the patient sees their hand performing these movements, their mind fires as if they'd performed it alone - which is why, if done enough times, you can actually retrain your brain.

Great hunting @sciencegeek
