The device consists of a pair of mechanical metal leg braces including a power unit and a backpack-like frame.

Researchers are making a feedback system that lets monkeys use brain signals to move a virtual ball within a computer-generated box, an advance that increases the chances that scientists will be able to give disabled people neural control of prosthetic limbs.
