TPR Think Science: Prosthetics & Military Medicine

Imagine a thought-controlled leg or arm that moves and responds through brain signals sent to the prosthetic, behaving as a regular leg or arm. While prosthetic limbs controlled by thought are still in the trial phase and still years away from hitting the market, prosthetics have made remarkable improvements within the last decade.

TPR invites you to join us for a talk about the latest innovations in prosthetics and military medicine.
