Paralysed man can feel objects through another person's hand

New Scientist - Space - Tue, 14/10/2025 - 19:52
Keith Thomas, a man in his 40s with no sensation or movement in his hands, is able to feel and move objects by controlling another person's hand via a brain implant. The technique might one day even allow us to experience another person's body over long distances.
