Summary

This study aims to understand how our sense of touch works by recording nerve signals in healthy volunteers. Researchers will use tiny needles and various stimuli to learn how the skin and nerves send touch information to the brain. The goal is to use this knowledge to create prosthetic limbs that can provide realistic sensory feedback to people who have lost a limb.
