Scientists are developing a new device that could help breast cancer patients who experience a loss of sensation after having a mastectomy.

    The idea is to insert artificial pressure sensors under the skin of the reconstructed breast. When stimulated by pressure, these sensors send signals to implanted electrodes under the arm that, in turn, stimulate “intercostal” nerves that run between the ribs. These nerves then relay the signals to the brain, where they are interpreted as sensation.

    Pretty cool stuff.
