University of Utah bioengineering associate professor Gregory Clark holds up the tiny Utah Slanted Electrode Array, a neural interface that connects with nerves in an amputee's arm. The array reads signals from the brain, telling an advanced prosthetic hand how to move. Likewise, the neural interface delivers meaningful sensations of touch and movement from the hand back to the brain. University of Utah researchers have received $1.4 million to further develop the implantable neural interface as part of a project for an advanced prosthetic hand that can move by the person's thoughts.
