Brain waves give movement to robotic exoskeleton
From: The Engineer (UK) - 03/08/2013

European researchers are testing a mind-controlled robotic exoskeleton that
could enable fully paralysed people to walk again. 

The Mindwalker project uses an easily fitted electrode cap placed on the
patient’s head to read brain signals related to movement that can be turned
into commands for operating the exoskeleton. 

The robotic suit itself, which is attached to the patient’s legs, is designed
to mimic more closely the way people walk than other exeskeletons that
require an additional walking frame or sticks to support the user.
