The 2022 NOVA documentary "Augmented" follows MIT biophysicist Hugh Herr, who, after losing his legs to frostbite, pioneers advanced brain-controlled prosthetics aimed at human enhancement rather than just restoring function. The film highlights Herr's development of neuro-embodiment technology, enabling users to feel their synthetic limbs, which redefines the relationship between the human body and technology.
