Its a future destination for humanity that will require a seemless, successful integration of our human biology with artificial intelligence and advanced nonbiological \u2014 AND artificially biological \u2014 mechanical systems that in one way or another all pass through a very few neccessary technological achievements. In this case it is the seemless communication in both directions of the biological, in this specific case it\u2019s the human sense of touch.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>When Brandon Prestwood\u2019s left hand was caught in an industrial conveyor belt six years ago, he lost his arm. Scientists are slowly unraveling the science of touch by trying to tap into the human nervous system and recreate the sensations of pressure for people like Prestwood. After an experimental surgery, Brandon\u2019s prosthetic arm was upgraded with a rudimentary sense of touch\u2014a major development in technology that could bring us all a little closer together.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1 Subscribe: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/NatGeoSubscribe\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/NatGeoSubscribe<\/a>.<br \/> \u27a1 Get more of Overheard at National Geographic here: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardPodcast\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardPodcast<\/a>.<br \/> \u27a1 Catch up on all episodes of Overheard at National Geographic: <a href=\"https:\/\/on.natgeo.com\/3n9D3cF\">https:\/\/on.natgeo.com\/3n9D3cF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also listen to the Overheard at National Geographic podcast on these platforms:<br \/> \u27a1 Apple: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnApple\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnApple<\/a>.<br \/> \u27a1 Spotify: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnSpotify\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnSpotify<\/a>.<br \/> \u27a1 Stitcher: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnStitcher\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnStitcher<\/a>.<br \/> \u27a1 Google Podcasts: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnGoogle\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnGoogle<\/a>.<br \/> \u27a1 iHeart Radio: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOniHeart\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOniHeart<\/a>.<br \/> \u27a1 Castbox: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnCastbox\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/OverheardOnCastbox<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>#NationalGeographic #Overheard #Podcast.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/restoring-a-lost-sense-of-touch-podcast-overheard-at-national-geographic\">Continue reading \u201cRestoring a lost sense of touch | Podcast | Overheard at National Geographic\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a fantastic podcast exploration of a rapidly maturing, wildley varied fields of science, the military, medicine, the industrialization, exploration, and colonization of our solar system, and the hope for, path to, and purpose of the successful creation of a posthuman, post scarcity future.
