Okay...as a former vet tech...seeing Oscar just had me boohooing like crazy...that was so moving. And the new 'automail' limbs are such a fantastic discovery...I noticed that image of Ed with his final automail limb blown away--inside the shell of the port you could see the connecting wires--similar to that scar on his chest--but this doesn't even require embedded wires or sensors! Amazing...
It's amazing how they can pick it up through the skin. And the movement keeps getting more and more sophisticated... I wonder, though, if there's a limit to what they can pick up that way. That maybe for fine motor movements there'd have to be direct contact with the nerve - but then again, with the way they're advancing, maybe not.
