    Next step: perform the inverse operation, using external signals which the brain will perceive as control signals, creating induced stimuli.

    WoW in virtual reality, anyone?

    Me parece increíble cómo funciona este aparato. Lo único que quiero saber es ¿Donde la puedo conseguir? vivo en Colombia

    excellent! I hope this will get developed further and made available to as many patients as possible. This could have aplications with the general public too…you could use it to comunicate with different devices and possibly even with people …a bit like telepathy

    I am happy for you that obviously you don’t have to work with, live with, love, or otherwise know anyone who has to suffer the slow and degrading loss of independence and dignity to a movement-destroying condition or horrific accident. This IS an incredible development for people who can’t just get up and WALK away from posts such as this.

    great so in the future i bet that there will be machines that move for us and are brains will be placed inside and we will clone new breads of human using dna from us now then we will adapt and become emcotionless and be robotic exept are brains this is just great!!!!!!!!

    uselessness??? there are outside a lot of people who can’t even move a joystick with their hands! so they are condemned to stay in bed waiting to die, or they need to a person to move their chair, so in this way they gain a lot of independency! and mind control is for more a better control than voice control (the other option), because voice control is really affected by noisy environments, while mind control isn’t affected :D

    It’s nothing fake, you need to research about Brain-computer interfaces, this in special is using electro-encephalogram (EEG), there are complete science books about it! and there are a lot of interesting applications for it, for example in the recent videogames conventions they have shown videogames that are controlled only by the brain! It’s a new techonology, but nothing fake, just read a little more… It’s science! :D

    That might be FAKE.
    Just program the thing to do something, and pretend you are controling it! Or have someone else controling it remotelly.

    I’m sorry, but for the uselessness of a chair controlled by thoughts… sorry, but it is 99% sure its FAKE.

    @wheelieblind We are working on that. It’s not difficult, but it’s not simple either. Hope to go at it full blast in September and have some good prototypes by end of the year. Will keep you posted on how it goes.

    guess I’ll have to use some scate wheels for the front casters and a mountain bike set of tires. It can be done here in the US, because you need to keep in mind that this design would work period.

  29. wheelieblind

    I would like to understand the design so that these chairs can also be made in places where we already have wheelchairs like Quickie for example. What if we take the best part of the design that makes the chair work in bad terrain and add that to a better designed wheelchair that someones granny wouldn’t be using in the first place.

    I saw the website for these. They are AWESOME. I think it’s great to show people how to make their own chairs. I would love to know how to build one of these.

    Outstanding! I’d like to use this on the roads and sidewalks in the USA, which are cracked and bumpy. It would make it easier to go up and down curbs and stairs, too. You should combine your design with the propulsion system of the Renegade, which gives a manual chair user more power to go over obstacles.
