latter part is actually an important test, verifying the sensory ability of the prosthetic to mimic a real hand’s response to pain or pressure. Last week, we wrote about BrainGate, a neuroprosthetic that allowed some quadriplegic subjects to control a robotic arm with their brain activity. But a successful prosthetic limb, whether for a quadriplegic or an amputee, would need to have not just motor control, but also some semblance of sensory feedback replicating the ability to touch and sense the

the environment therefore we perceive and make predictions about the world through internal cognitive representations regardless of it being a scientific fact or a self believed fact. Consequently we built up knowledge from prior events, memories, perception, culture and socialisation. These cognitions convey knowledge to be represented as a mind state. Knowledge is the familiarity one has with worldly information. The theoretical accounts of knowledge processes must be carefully analysed and

sensation and perception, we can make contrast between these two points. The sensation is the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment, that is to say the brain Receives input from the sensory organs; on the other hand the perception is he process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events, that is to say he brain makes sense out of the input from sensory organs.
