"Revolutionary Prosthetic Limb Sensing Temperature Like a Real Hand"

Researchers have developed the "MiniTouch," a device that enables amputees to sense and respond to temperature, enhancing their interaction with the environment and emotional connection with prosthetic limbs. The device, which requires no surgery for integration, allows amputees to discriminate between objects of different temperatures and experience affective touch. The technology is a significant step towards fully restoring sensory experiences for individuals with limb loss, potentially improving their quality of life.
