An Arm That Gets On Your Nerves
| Division: | Biotechnology | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Toronto | | City: | Toronto, ON, Scarborough, ON | | School: | Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute | | Abstract: | We aim to improve current prosthetic arms by providing a greater degree of mobility through interfacing an integrated circuit with the residual axons in the Brachial Plexus. This IC would analyze incoming neurological impulses analogous to a Resistor Capacitor circuit, and translate them into digital signals recognized by the prosthetic arm. |
