Swiss scientists on April 24 demonstrated how a partially paralyzed person can control a robot only by brain signals, according to the Associated Press.

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne said the experiment took them one step closer to allowing patients unable to move easily with their surroundings. via a ' robot avatar'.

The April 24 trial included a quadriceps patient at a hospital in the Swiss town of Sion, who imagined action to put his fingers to control a robot at a university 100 trees away. number.

Similar experiments have taken place in the United States and Germany, but are performed in patients who may be in motion or in invasive brain transplants, while the Swiss team uses only a head cap. Simple to recognize the brain signals.
