Monkeys help pave way for prosthetics that can feel

The video discusses a study on the sensory areas of monkey brains, where monkeys controlled a virtual hand using their brains. They were rewarded for selecting objects that provided an electronic sensation of texture. This study demonstrated the feasibility of two-way communication between the brain and a computer, suggesting future possibilities for artificial limbs that can both move and feel.
