mind controlled prosthetic arm tested in Sweden

Doctors in Sweden have developed a prosthetic  arm for a man who lost his arm doe to cancer.The  new prosthetic arm is attached to bone ,muscles and nerves .It uses electrodes to send  messages to  the mans brain,So the new  arm can function  like his old one did. The system that the doctors used is called ,OSSE integrated human  machine gateway  or OHMG for short  .the doctors implanted seven electrodes  into  the mans arm  which was amputated above the elbows and then then they connected his arm. The electrodes work with the mans brain .so he can do almost anything he could before he lost his real arm,except lift heavy items . The  doctors  are still working  to make this system better they can help more people  have a better quality of live .
