Ursa_Eagle Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 For now, the medical procedure performed on Sullivan is limited to amputated arms. The hope is that one day it can be applied to other limbs as well. oh really! Bobbit-style! Quote
vegetablebelay Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Makes me want to cut off my arm! Oh, wait... Quote
catbirdseat Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 The device doesn't really take direction directly from the brain. They rerouted existing nerves that controlled the arm to the chest where they caused muscles there to contract and be detected by a sensor. Apparently the arm is motorized. Quote
