Glove translates American Sign Language in real time, The Engineer, 30 June 2020, accessed 26 January 2022 (Reverse-Engineer the Brain)

I feel as though this innovation works to reverse-engineer the brain because the glove and sensors can recognize sign language and facial features, much like a person well trained in sign language could do. This technology could be helpful in the "brain" of an AI so that it may recognize human gestures and facial features more easily.
