Revolutionizing Prosthetics: The Cyber Hand Project

The video discusses the Cyber Hand project, a pan-European initiative to create an artificial hand that mimics the nervous connections between the brain and a hand. Unlike traditional prosthetics, Cyber Hand is controlled by the patient's nervous system through electrodes, allowing the user to feel the prosthesis as their own. The project involves collaboration between Italian and German scientists, with sensory feedback provided via additional electrodes. Although still in the research phase, Cyber Hand represents a significant advancement in prosthetic technology, with commercial availability expected in 5 to 10 years.
