Waking up to the tragic bombings in Thailand today, it's good to read some really great news. Life changing and hopefully commonplace in a few years.

Excellent news. Considering this initially was part of a trial about testing robotic aids driven by brainpower.They added the VR technology to assist with that development....

I also thought Professor Nicolelis comment at the end of the article was very true

"There are about 25 million people in the world paralysed just with spinal cord injuries and when you receive a diagnosis of being a complete paraplegic people usually don’t do anything any more to you. They just try to get you adapted to life in a wheelchair."
