Implantable Chip Offers Better Prosthetic Control

Implantable Chip Offers Better Prosthetic Control
May-21-17
A new implantable chip could give prosthetics the ability to perform fine motor skills.

Developed as part of the IMPRESS (Implantable Multimodal Peripheral Recording and Stimulation System) project funded by the DARPA’s HAPTIX program, the biocompatible, hermetic chip is meant to be implanted directly into the nerve bundle (current solutions simply wrap around the bundle). This direct contact enhances the wearer’s control of their prosthetic, with the eventual possibility of haptic feedback.
