It's the first time an exoskeleton has been controlled by brain activity and offered feedback to the patients. Doing a demonstration in a stadium is something very much outside our routine in robotics. It's never been done before. Miguel Nicolelis activitybraincontrol share on social

With its billions of interconnected neurons, whose interactions change from millisecond to millisecond, the human brain is an archetypal complex system. Miguel Nicolelis archetypalbillionbrain Change image and share on social
We cannot even predict what kinds of emergent properties would appear when animals begin interacting as part of a brain-net. In theory, you could imagine that a combination of brains could provide solutions that individual brains cannot achieve by themselves. Miguel Nicolelis achieveanimalbegin share on social
