"When I touch the stump with my hand, I feel tingling in my missing 
hand, my phantom hand. But feeling the temperature variation is a 
different thing, something important... something beautiful," says 
Francesca Rossi.  

Rossi is an amputee from Bologna, Italy. She recently participated in 
a study to test the effects of temperature feedback directly to the 
skin on her residual arm. She is one of 17 patients to have felt her 
phantom, missing hand, change in temperature thanks to new EPFL 
technology. More importantly, she reports feeling reconnected to her 
missing hand.
