Recently, a groundbreaking experiment bilateral amputees install two new mind control arm. Lost both arms due to electrical accidents LesBaugh 40 years ago is now just want a moment to control his prosthesis.

After training the muscles with the new arm, he will be able to pick up the cup, and a series of arm movements. Experts say this will change the way the prosthetic use.

A Colorado man this summer at Johns Hopkins University made history, he became the first amputee bilateral shoulder worn while controlling bilateral laboratory modular prostheses (MPL) person.

Most importantly, for two consecutive weeks in June Baugh feel Laboratory Evaluation MPL availability. MPL is the innovative prosthetic plan developed by consuming a decade.

To be able to use prosthetic system, Baugh must be specific muscle reinnervation surgery at Johns Hopkins University. After recovery, Baugh to laboratory use MPL training.

Researchers will custom interface to connect to the Baugh's torso and shoulders to support the prosthetic while establishing a connection via the interface and re-innervation of nerves.

After the interface is completed, the researchers will use his limbs system via virtual interface environment (VIE).

VIE is MPL virtual reality version, which can be used with prosthetic completely interchangeable, is low-cost testing device BCI. As portable training systems are becoming the new interfaces and research methods to test phantom limb pain nerves.

Baugh said that after the prosthetic connection, he felt entering a completely different new world.

After completion of the training laboratory, the next step will be wearing a prosthetic home Baugh, researchers will observe how he wears prosthetic life.
