Today on In Case You Missed It: Researchers from The University of Melbourne are about to launch a clinical trial into whether paralyzed people can control an exoskeleton suit simply by thinking about moving. It’s thanks to an implanted device in the brain and clinical trials will begin next year. If it works, the system could be available within about six years. We don’t have to tell you how huge this would be.
Meanwhile, University College of London researchers got together to study the similarities between pancakes and the eye, to better help them understand diseases like gluacoma.
Winter sports enthusiasts might appreciate this crowdfunding campaign for wearable sleds for each leg, that frees up your arms from having to actually carry a sled around.
