Hopefully by 2014 at the world cup I Brazil we will all be able to see a great experiment that has been in the works for awhile. It is a suit that will be able to control the movements of a paralyzed person. It is a computer that is controlled by brain waves. It has been tested on robotic arms and computer cursors so the suit is in works now. The brain is responsible of sending motor signals that are transmitted wirelessly to a computer that is on the back of the suit. There the computer will translate the signals to motor commands so the patient will be stable. After that, the patient will just have to visualize a movement and the robotic suit will move the body to do it.
This is a great invention. If it is made properly and works it will be a miracle for many paralyzed individuals. Technology is moving fast and it’s great to hear that it’s paying off. This invention will change the lives of many.

I saw this article also and thought it looked very interesting. It is amazing how far technology has come and what could be possible in the future. This would be wonderful for those who do not have all of their limbs -- could definitely change their lives! I hope they can continue to make progress and are actually able to actually put it into real-life use!
