"Blade Runner" Has No Clear Edge New research suggests that Oscar Pistorius may actually be at a disadvantage when sprinting. Reading the Surface of the Brain A startup aims to develop a minimally invasive neural prosthesis for disabled patients. Less-Invasive Brain Interfaces Electrical activity from the surface of the brain may be precise enough to control prostheses, research shows. New approaches could more seamlessly integrate medical devices into the body. Decoding neural signals for speech may give voice to the voiceless. Monkey Thinks Robot into Action A monkey is able to feed itself with a robotic arm. A lightweight prosthetic hand uses hydraulics to achieve more natural finger movement. Scientists are testing a device to help those with inner-ear problems. Prosthetic Limbs That Can Feel A new surgical method is the first step in making prostheses with sensory capabilities. Researchers have developed a new material that can fill in its own surface cracks. Brain Implants to Restore Vision A bionic implant that bypasses the eye might eventually treat many forms of blindness. A Prosthetic Arm That Acts Like a Real One Patients use nerves left intact after amputations to control prosthetic limbs. [1]
