A quadriplegic man is able to move his arms and walk using an exoskeleton controlled by signals sent from his brain and a harness suspended from the ceiling, French researchers say.
A quadriplegic man was able to move his arms and walk using an exoskeleton controlled by signals sent from his brain and a harness suspended from the ceiling, French researchers said in a new study.
An exoskeleton allowed him to move all four of his paralyzed limbs by recording and then decoding his brain signals. "Previous brain-computer studies have used more invasive recording devices implanted beneath the outermost membrane of the brain, where they eventually stop working," he added."They have also been connected to wires, limited to creating movement in just one limb, or have focused on restoring movement to patients' own muscles."
Over the two years of the study, the patient trained the device to understand an increasing number of his thoughts, thus increasing the number of movement commands it could pick up simply from his brain signals.
