Prosthesis that allow feelings

An Italian scientists have created an artificial hand that allows to an amputated person tell apart the difference between a mandarin, a ball and a bottle.

The Danish Aabo Sorensen lost his left hand in an accident ten years ago, and he volunteered for this experiment.

It was amazing to feel something after ten years, suddenly, my hand sent a message to my brain. It was incredible."-he said.

When the scientists connected the electrodes to an electric sign, Sorensen ensured he had the same feeling that when his fingers could move.

This is not the first time that a prosthesis can send messages to the brain. This kind of experiment already had success at U.S.A an Europe. But, how can they do it?
