The experiment was conducted to allow a person to manage their dentures mentally. In December 2009, a group of European scientists announced that they have successfully connected a robotic arm with the hand of man - Petrutstsiello, who lost an arm in a car accident. This allowed him to control a prosthesis by thought and feeling different pulses in an artificial hand. The experiment lasted a month. Scientists say that it was the first time an amputee could do complex movements, using thoughts to control a biomechanical hand connected to his nervous system.
