Our minds may be able to control the movement of prosthetic limbs, very soon.

Very soon, we will use our minds to control prosthetic limbs, as the technology is currently been developed by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and civilian scientists.


According to those who knew well about the product, said the technology works in a way called target muscle  reinnervation, or TMR. It employs the existing nerves near an amputation site, providing the person wearing the prosthesis with the ability to control it directly using signals from those muscles. With the product, the wearer will be able to do all kinds of movement easily.
An ex-Army Staff Sgt. Glen Lehman, who was said to have injured in Iraq, tried the new technology and it works so well for him.
