Surgeons have restored the sensation of touch to a paralyzed man using a robotic arm connected to electrodes in his brain.
Twelve years ago a promising science student, Nathan Copeland, was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He went from being an active 18-year old to being quadriplegic. He was unable to feel anything from the chest down and could not move his lower arms and legs, so needed assistance with all his daily activities.
