Mind control: Australian-made bionic spine moves robotic limbs using your thoughts

The video discusses a device that allows paralyzed patients to move using thought. The stent electrode, inserted into the jugular vein, expands in a brain vessel to record motor cortex activity. This activity is translated into commands sent wirelessly to an exoskeleton or wheelchair. Tested on a sheep for 190 days, human trials are planned for next year.
