Amputee Controls Prosthetic Arms by Thought
Filed under: Technology

Jesse Sullivan can do many things with his two arms — paint a house, hug his grandchildren, maybe even give some jerk the finger if the special occasion warrants it — and these arms aren’t even flesh. They’re bionic.
“Sullivan’s bionic arm represents an advance over typical artificial arms, like the right-arm prosthesis he uses, which has a hook and operates with sequential motions. There is no perceivable delay in the motions of Sullivan’s flesh-colored, plastic-like left arm. Until now, it has been nearly impossible to recreate the subtle and complex motion of a human arm.”
Put simply, Jesse uses his brain to control his prosthetic limbs. He thinks, “close hand,” and the plastic version of what looks like a hand obeys the order. I just wonder what happens in those naughty moments he sort of thinks, “jerk off” or “wank vigorously.”
