PICTURE THIS SCENARIO: an ecologically-minded university sends a team of experts to a southern state to study the environmental effects of a proposed power plant. The study determines that if the power plant is built without the proper safeguards, it would emit dangerously high levels of sulphur dioxide. The team of experts is well aware that sulphur dioxide destroys crops, water supplies, and equipment owned by farmers in the area surrounding the proposed plant...

...years, engineers have tried to overcome the insensitivity of the artificial arm with a variety of devices that produce electric shocks or emit auditory signals when pressure is put on the hooks. Dr. Frank Clippinger Jr., an orthopedist at Duke University Medical Center, tried a different approach. He coupled a strain gauge into the cable that operates the hook end of an artificial arm and wired it to a surgically implanted electrical stimulator. The stimulator, in turn, was connected directly to the medial or main arm nerve; the current is perceived as a mild tingling, which by its intensity tells...
