Researchers at UC Irvine have found a way to allow a paraplegic man walk by using his own brain waves. The researchers used a PC to link his brain to his legs via Bluetooth. An EEG machine interpreted the signals from his brain and sent them to his knee, which caused the walking motion. The patient only walked 12 feet, but it was still a great accomplishment considering this was the first time something like this was ever achieved.
