Question from student: Explain what it felt like when the neural signals were fed back into your body?

When, all we were doing was stimulating my nervous system, and after about six weeks when my brain was recognizing the signals no problem. Ah if all we were doing was stimulating, it felt like, this is the sense that my brain made of it, it felt like a charge running up that, my index finger, that’s what my brain made of it. If then we did something else, so let’s say we did the ultrasonic signals, so now something comes close I’m receiving ding-ding-ding-ding, lots of pulses of current, then my, because my brain, you know, it’s quite a clever device like everybody’s brain, my brain knew what we were doing so it linked the two things together, which surprised us how easily it did it, but it was quite simply receiving lots and lots of pulses of current of the same type. It didn’t think anything about charges running up fingers. It just felt something’s close. When it came to the robot hand, same thing again. It felt the robot hand is applying this force. I never felt that um, the robot hand was mine, in the sense of when I moved my hand it always felt like I was moving my hand, but my brain was quite happy that the signals coming back in were from the robot fingertips. It had no problems with that, although it, it was quite happy making that difference.
