Researchers at MIT have developed a new prosthetic leg that can be controlled via brain signals, an achievement that could greatly enhance the experience of walking with a bionic limb for amputees.

Amputees given new bionic legs can walk naturally and at a normal speed in a “miraculous” world-first scientific breakthrough ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Dr. Hugh Herr, head of the Biomechatronics research group at the MIT Media Lab, gave us a demonstration of bionic legs at Ignition 2013. A double amputee himself ...

Developed by scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the bionic leg links the user's brain activity to nerves in important muscles controlling movement. Study author Prof Hugh Herr ...
