Woman Controls Robot Arm With Her Mind

The human mind is incredible. If a mother sees a child under a car, she has the potential to lift the car up due to extreme will power. This lady really wanted to feed herself the candy bar, and so the miracle we see before us has commenced. I look so forward as what comes in the future. Soon in say 2025, we'll have a robotic spinal cord that can help someone move again completely, from paralyzed to functional all around. Watch it will happen, it can be done I am betting 100 dollars on that (even if it's not a spinal cord, it's something like that).

I am so pumped myself. After suffering nervetrauma I have a foot that's only able to do 50% of the movements a foot is supposed to be capable of doing; and a device that could bridge the scar tissue on my nerve, or even full nerve replacement is, have me so excited about the prospect of one day being able to leave the footbrace I'm using behind me for good.

Just asking because I am clueless about this type of stuff- but does this affect your whole leg or just the foot? Ether way, I know things are looking good for those who are in need of such equipment and I think personally we should have tax money or donations go into these types of projects rather then ... whatever else we're doing. Unless it deals with schools, education is important.

Just my foot, it is peroneus nerve that was severed rigth below the knee.

Maybe I'm being cynical but it's amazing how a war can boost medical technology. Much of the recent progress in prosthetics is stuff that's been technically possible for a while, but the researchers have never been able to find funding to actually do it. At least not until the veterans started coming home with missing limbs.

One step closer to cyberpunk.
